Question

Incarbilamine test for primary amines the resulting foul smelling product is

• A. $\text{CH}_3\text{NC}$
• B. $\text{CH}_3\text{NCl}_2$
• C. $\text{COCl}_2$
• D. $\text{CH}_3\text{CN}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\text{CH}_3\text{NC}$

Answer 2

The In carbilamine test is used to detect the presence of primary amines. During this test, an amine reacts with chloroform and excess benzenesulfonyl chloride $(C_6H_5SO_2Cl)$ in the presence of a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The resulting foul-smelling product is an isocyanide compound, $CH_3NC$, which is given off as a gas.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) $CH_3NC$.
