NEET Chemistry Chemical Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis. | Reason (R): The presence of the aromatic ring in primary amines affects their reactivity with phthalimide.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
