### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Isocyanide Test**: - The Isocyanide test is a chemical test used to identify the presence of primary amines. It involves the reaction of a primary amine with chloroform (CHCl3) in the presence of a strong base, typically alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH). 2. **Reaction Mechanism**: - When a primary amine (R-NH2) reacts with chloroform and alcoholic KOH, the amine first deprotonates to form an amine anion (R-NH^-). - The amine anion then attacks the chloroform, leading to the formation of an isocyanide (R-NC) and byproducts such as potassium chloride (KCl) and water (H2O). ...
