The reaction of aliphatic and aromatic primary amines with chloroform in the presence of ethanolic potassium hydroxide to produce compound with fouling smell, is known as |
Rosenmund reaction Carbylamine reaction Fittig reaction Etard reaction |
Carbylamine reaction |
The correct answer is Option (2) → Carbylamine reaction Primary amines when heated with chloroform ($CHCl_3$) and alcoholic KOH produce isocyanides (carbylamines), which have a very foul smell. General reaction: $R-NH_2+ CHCl_3 + 3KOH → R-NC + 3KCl + 3H_2O$ This reaction is used as a test for primary amines and is known as the Carbylamine reaction. Option 1: Rosenmund reaction Used for conversion of acid chloride to aldehyde using $Pd/BaSO_4$. Not related to amines. Option 2: Carbylamine reaction Primary amines react with $CHCl_3$ and alcoholic KOH to give isocyanides with foul smell. Correct. Option 3: Fittig reaction Coupling of aryl halides using sodium in dry ether. Not related to amines. Option 4: Etard reaction Oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde using chromyl chloride. Not related to amines. |
