the compound obtained by heating a mixture of primary amine

The compound obtained by heating a mixture of primary amine and chloroform with ethanolic potassium hydroxide $$(KOH)$$ is

A. an alkyl isocyanide

B. an alkyl halide

C. an amide

D. an amide and nitro compound

Answer : an alkyl isocyanide

Solution :
$$RN{H_2} + CHC{l_3} + 3KOH\left( {{\text{alc}}{\text{.}}} \right) \to \mathop {RNC}\limits_{{\text{Alkyl isocyanide}}} + 3KCl + 3{H_2}O$$
This reaction is known as carbylamine test. ( only $${1^ \circ }$$ amine gives this reaction )
