Potassium Phthalimide

Product Description

Potassium Phthalimide (C₈H₄KNO₂) is a white to off-white crystalline inorganic salt derived from phthalimide. It is an important reagent in organic synthesis, primarily used in the preparation of primary amines via the Gabriel Synthesis. Known for its high purity and stability, Potassium Phthalimide is widely employed in laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and fine chemical production.
Its role as a nucleophilic reagent makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of amines, dyes, and agrochemicals.
