Question:

Which of the following species are involved in the carbylamine test?
(a) R-NC (b) CHCl3 (c) COCl2 (d) NaN02 + HCl

Answer:

(a, b) Carbylamine reaction: Amine on reaction with a mixture of CHCl3 and KOH produces alkyl isocyanate.
R-NH2 + CHCl, + 3KOH -> RNC + 3KCl + 3H2O Only RNC and CHCl3 are involved in carbylamine reaction.
