The reaction of aniline with chloroform under alkaline conditions leads to the formation of
- A phenylcyanide
- B phenylisonitrile
- C phenylcyanate
- D phenylisocyanate
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) phenylisonitrile
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Aniline is a primary amine (contains - \(\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) group). When it is treated with chloroform under alkaline conditions, it results in the formation of a bad smelling compound, known by the name isonitrile or carbylamine. This reaction is known as carbylamine reaction.
