Question

Which of the following will NOT give positive carbylamine test?

Options

• N-Ethylaniline

• Aniline

• Ethylaroine

• Propan-2-amine

Answer 1

N-Ethylaniline

Explanation:

When alkyl/aryl isocyanides or carbylarnines are heated with chloroform, they produce foul-smelling compounds called alkyl/aryl isocyanides or carbylarnines. The carbylamines test is what it's called. As a result, N-ethylamine (2°) will not produce a positive carbylamine test result.
