Which product of the following reactions fails to give the carbylamine test ?

  1. A Hoffmann bromide degradation
  2. B Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
  3. C Reduction of nitrites with LiAlH4
  4. D Reduction of tertiary amides with LiAlH4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Reduction of tertiary amides with LiAlH4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The secondary and tertiary amines do not exhibit carbylamine reactions. As tertiary amides are derived from secondary amines, reduction of tertiary amides with LiAlH4 fails to give the carbylamine test.
