The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Carbylamine Reaction**: The carbylamine reaction involves the reaction of a primary amine with chloroform (CHCl₃) in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) and heat. The product formed is an isocyanide (or carbylamine). 2. **Identifying the Reactants**: The reactants required for the carbylamine reaction are: - A primary amine (RNH₂) - Chloroform (CHCl₃) - Alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH) 3. **Mechanism of the Reaction**: - The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) from KOH abstracts a hydrogen atom from chloroform, forming a dichlorocarbene intermediate (CCl₂). - This dichlorocarbene is electron-deficient and reacts with the primary amine (RNH₂). - The nitrogen in the amine donates its lone pair to the electron-deficient carbon, forming a bond. - Subsequent steps involve the removal of chloride ions (Cl⁻) and the formation of the isocyanide (RNC). 4. **Identifying Primary Amines**: In order to determine which option gives the carbylamine reaction, we need to identify which of the given amines is a primary amine: - **Option A**: Contains one aryl group and one alkyl group (secondary amine). - **Option B**: Contains only one alkyl group (primary amine). - **Option C**: Contains two alkyl groups (secondary amine). - **Option D**: Contains three alkyl groups (tertiary amine). 5. **Conclusion**: The only option that contains a primary amine is **Option B (CH₃NH₂)**. Therefore, this is the correct answer as it will undergo the carbylamine reaction. ### Final Answer: The carbylamine reaction is given by **Option B: CH₃NH₂ (methylamine)**, which is a primary amine. ---
