Question

Which of the following is obtained in a carbylamine reaction?

• A. ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}$
• B. $COC{{l}_{2}}$
• C. ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CN$
• D. ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NC$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NC$

Answer 2

Carbylamine reaction involves the reaction of a primary amine with chloroform in presence of alkali. In this reaction, an offensive odorous compound, isocyanide, is obtained, e., ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}+CHC{{l}_{3}}+3KOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}$ ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}NC+3KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O$
