    Benzyl Amine is synthesized from Toluene in two steps;

    Step 1: Bromination of Methyl Group in Toluene:

    Bromination is carried out on methyl group present on Benzene ring through free radical mechanism by treating toluene with N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) and Benzyl Bromide is formed.

    Step 2: Benzyl Bromide into Benzyl Amine;

    This step is carried out utilizing a neme reaction "Gabriel Reaction". Benzyl bromide is treated with Potassium Phthalamide and an intermediate is formed which on treatment with Hydrazine produces Benzyl amine.
