    Which of the organic compounds will give red colour in Lassaigne's test?

    A) \[NaCN\]                            

    B) \[\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  S \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}-C-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]

    C)  \[\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}-C-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]        

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In the Lassaigne's test, if organic compound consists of both N and S then a red colour is obtained on adding aqueous\[FeC{{l}_{3}}\]\[\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  S \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}-C-N{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] to sodium extract contains both N and S hence, it will give red colour in Lassaigne test. \[NaCNS+FeC{{l}_{3}}\to \underset{blood\,red\,colour}{\mathop{[Fe(SCN)]C{{l}_{2}}+NaCl}}\,\]
