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

The Correct Option is A

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) \(CH_3NC\).
