Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Alcoholic \(\text{KOH} + \text{CHCl}_3\) ; isocyanide

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The carbylamine reaction is a characteristic test for primary amines (both aliphatic and aromatic). When a primary amine is heated with chloroform (\(\text{CHCl}_3\)) and alcoholic potassium hydroxide (\(\text{KOH}\)), it forms an isocyanide (also known as carbylamine), which…
