tert-butylaminetert-butylamine cannot be prepared


Tert-butylamine

Tert-butylamine cannot be prepared by the Gabriel synthesis because it would require that the nitrogen of phthalimide be alkylated with tert-butyl bromide in an SN2 reaction.  Tertiary alkyl halides generally do not undergo SN2 reactions but, under basic conditions, undergo E2 reactions instead.
