Primary amines can also be prepared by the reaction of an alkyl halide with azide ion, followed by catalytic hydrogenation. What advantage do this method and the Gabriel synthesis have over the synthesis of a primary amine using an alkyl halide and ammonia?

Propose a mechanism that accounts for the formation of the product.
