Vedclass · Answer

(D) The Carbylamine test is a chemical test used for the detection of primary $(1^o)$ amines. When aliphatic or aromatic primary amines are heated with chloroform $(CHCl_3)$ and alcoholic potassium hydroxide $(KOH)$,they form isocyanides (carbylamines),which have a characteristic foul smell. Secondary $(2^o)$ and tertiary $(3^o)$ amines do not undergo this reaction and therefore do not give the Carbylamine test.
