$C_{6}H_{5}CONH_{2}$

$C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}$

$C_{6}H_{5}CH_{2}NHCH_{3}$

$C_{6}H_{5}NHCH_{3}$

Answer

$C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}$

Explanation

Solution

$\underset{X}{\underset{(\text{Aniline})}{C_{6}H_{5}NH_{2}}} + CHCl_{3} + 3NaOH \rightarrow 3NaCl + 3H_{2}O + \underset{\text{Phenylisocyanide}}{C_{6}H_{5} - N\overrightarrow{=}C}$
