Correct answer
A. C 6 H 5 - NH 2
Step-by-step solution
The carbylamine reaction (also known as Hoffmann isocyanide synthesis) is a synthesis of an isocyanide by the reaction of a primary amine, chloroform and a base (ethanolic potassium hydroxide). If a primary amine is present, the isocyanide is formed, which are foul-smelling substances. Only primary amines give carbylamine test and secondary, tertiary amines do not give this test.
