The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which compound does not produce a foul smell when heated with CHCl3 (chloroform) and KOH (potassium hydroxide). This reaction is known as the Carbylamine reaction, which is specific to primary amines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Carbylamine Reaction**: - The Carbylamine reaction occurs when primary amines react with chloroform and a strong base (like KOH). This reaction produces isocyanides, which are known for their foul smell. 2. **Identify the Type of Amines**: - Primary amines (1° amines) will give a positive result in the Carbylamine reaction, meaning they will produce a foul-smelling isocyanide. - Secondary amines (2° amines) and tertiary amines (3° amines) do not undergo this reaction and therefore do not produce a foul smell. 3. **Analyze the Given Options**: - We need to determine whether each of the given compounds is a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine: - **Option A: Metatolidin (C7H9N)** - This is a primary amine (NH2 group attached to a carbon chain). It will give a foul smell. - **Option B: Methylamine (CH3NH2)** - This is also a primary amine. It will give a foul smell. - **Option C: N-Methyl Aniline (C7H9N)** - This is a secondary amine (the nitrogen is bonded to two carbons). It will NOT give a foul smell. - **Option D: Aminoethanol (NH2CH2CH2OH)** - This is a primary amine. It will give a foul smell. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, N-Methyl Aniline (Option C) is the only compound that does not produce a foul smell when heated with CHCl3 and KOH because it is a secondary amine. ### Final Answer: **Option C: N-Methyl Aniline does not give a foul smell when heated with CHCl3 and KOH.** ---
