Alternative Gabriel Reagents
Many alternative reagents have been developed to complement the use of phthalimides. Most such reagents, e.g. the sodium salt of saccharin, are electronically similar to the phthalimide salts. In terms of their advantages, some such alternative reagents hydrolyze more readily, extend the reactivity to secondary alkyl halides, and allow the production of secondary amines.

Famous quotes containing the words alternative and/or gabriel:
“If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?”

“The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
