Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction of a primary amine with chloroform $(CHCl_3)$ and alcoholic potassium hydroxide $(KOH)$ is known as the Carbylamine reaction.
This reaction is a test for primary amines,where the amine is converted into an isocyanide (carbylamine),which has a foul smell.
The reaction for $n$-propylamine $(CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2)$ is:
$CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2 + CHCl_3 + 3KOH 	ext{ (alc.)} ightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2NC + 3KCl + 3H_2O$.
Thus,the product $X$ is $n$-propyl isocyanide,which has the structure $CH_3CH_2CH_2NC$.

Heating $n$-propylamine with alcoholic alkali and chloroform yields a compound $X$. What is the structure of $X$?
