A compound having molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{11} \mathrm{N}\), reacts with \(\mathrm{CHCl}_3\) in alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\), on heating, to form a compound with a foul smell. Identify the optically active isomer of the compound which also shows the above reaction.
- A 2-Methylpropan-1-amine
- B N-Methylpropan-1-amine
- C Butan-1-amine
- D Butan-2-amine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Butan-2-amine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of a compound with \(\mathrm{CHCl}_3\) and alcoholic \(\mathrm{KOH}\) to produce a foul-smelling substance (isocyanide) is the carbylamine test. This test is specific to primary amines (\(R-NH_2\)). The molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{11} \mathrm{N}\)…
