    \[n-\]propylamine yields a volatile compound X on warming with ale. alkali and chloroform. X has an offensive odour. The structure of X is

    A) \[~C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CN\]

    B) \[~{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCN\]

    C) \[~C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}NC\]

    D)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHNC\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Primary amines react with ale alkali and chloroform to give an offensive odour compound\[ie,\]isocyanide. This reaction is called carbylamine reaction. \[\underset{n-\text{propyl}\,\text{amine}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,+CHC{{l}_{3}}+\underset{(alco.)}{\mathop{3KOH}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\text{propyl}\,\text{isocyanide}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}NC}}\,+3KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
