A bond between these two elements form when Alkyl halides react with potassium phthalimide in the Gabriel synthesis. A bond between these two non-hydrogen elements distinguishes (*) aniline from benzene. The Strecker synthesis generates a functional group defined by (-5[1])a bond between these two elements.
