Explanation

Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used to prepare 1o aliphatic or alicyclic amine. Hence, amine which can be synthesised by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis method contains $$\alpha $$-carbon.

Aniline (C6H5NH2) does not contain $$\alpha $$-C cannot be prepared by Gabriel reaction.

Remaining amines all contain $$\alpha $$-C in its respective position, hence they can easily give Gabriel phthalimide reaction.
