Phthalimide is the organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO)2NH. It is the imide derivative of phthalic anhydride. It is a sublimable white solid that is slightly soluble in water but more so upon addition of base. It is used as a precursor to other organic compounds as a masked source of ammonia.[2]

Preparation

[edit]

Phthalimide can be prepared by heating phthalic anhydride with alcoholic ammonia giving 95–97% yield. Alternatively, it may be prepared by treating the anhydride with ammonium carbonateorurea. It can also be produced by ammoxidationofo-xylene.[2]

Uses

[edit]

Phthalimide is used as a precursor to anthranilic acid, a precursor to azo dyes and saccharin.[2]

Alkyl phthalimides are useful precursors to amines in chemical synthesis, especially in peptide synthesis where they are used "to block both hydrogens and avoid racemization of the substrates".[3] Alkyl halides can be converted to the N-alkylphthalimide:

C6H4(CO)2NH + RX + NaOH → C6H4(CO)2NR + NaX + H2O

The amine is commonly liberated using hydrazine:

C6H4(CO)2NR + N2H4 → C6H4(CO)2N2H2 + RNH2

Dimethylamine can also be used.[4]

Some examples of phthalimide drugs include thalidomide, amphotalide, taltrimide, talmetoprim, and apremilast. With a trichloromethylthio substituent, a phthalimide-derived fungicide is Folpet.

Reactivity

[edit]

It forms salts upon treatment with bases such as sodium hydroxide. The high acidity of the imido N-H is the result of the pair of flanking electrophilic carbonyl groups. Potassium phthalimide, made by reacting phthalimide with potassium carbonate in water at 100 °C or with potassium hydroxide in absolute ethanol,[5] is used in the Gabriel synthesis of primary amines, such as glycine.

Natural occurrence

[edit]

Kladnoite is a natural mineral analog of phthalimide.[6] It is very rarely found among a few burning coal fire sites.

Safety

[edit]

Phthalimide has low acute toxicity with LD50 (rat, oral) of greater than 5,000 mg/kg.[2]
