Best Answer

The Gatterman reaction is used to convert benzene to benzaldehyde (and derivatives). You need to use the Sandmeyer reaction to add iodo groups to aromatic rings. I think textbooks sometimes gets the two reactions mixed up.

Why alkyl iodide cannot be prepared directly?

Alkyl iodides cannot be prepared directly by iodination of alkanes because iodine is not a good enough electrophile to react with an alkane under typical reaction conditions. Alkyl iodides are usually prepared indirectly by reacting an alkyl halide with a soluble iodide salt in the presence of a mild oxidizing agent.

Why cannot aromatic primary amines be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis?

Aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by the Gabriel phthalimide synthesis because the nitrogen atom in the aromatic primary amine is not sufficiently nucleophilic to displace the phthalimide leaving group. The reaction typically requires a primary alkyl halide, which is more reactive toward nucleophilic substitution than an aromatic primary amine.

You did not say which war (we have had several) but I cannot recall that the US was EVER prepared for a war that we got in to- we have had to play catch up a lot.


What is a ''non'' reversible reaction?

A non-reversible reaction is a chemical reaction in which the products cannot readily revert back to the original reactants. This means that once the reaction has occurred, it is not easily undone under normal conditions. Examples include combustion reactions and many precipitation reactions.

Why cyclopentanone cannot undergo iodoform reaction?

Cyclopentanone cannot undergo the iodoform reaction because it lacks a methyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon that is necessary for the reaction to occur. The presence of a methyl group is essential for the formation of the triiodomethane (iodoform) product.
