The correct Answer is:
To distinguish between cyclohexylamine and aniline, we can use the Bromine test. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how this works: ### Step 1: Understand the Structures - **Cyclohexylamine**: This is a six-membered carbon ring (cyclohexane) with an amino group (-NH2) attached. - **Aniline**: This is a benzene ring with an amino group (-NH2) attached. ### Step 2: Perform the Bromine Test - When bromine (Br2) is added to aniline, the amino group (-NH2) is activated due to resonance with the benzene ring. This leads to the substitution of bromine atoms at the ortho and para positions of the benzene ring. - The reaction will produce a white precipitate of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. ### Step 3: Observe the Reaction with Cyclohexylamine - Cyclohexylamine, on the other hand, does not have a benzene ring. When bromine is added to cyclohexylamine, there is no significant reaction, and thus no white precipitate is formed. ### Step 4: Conclusion - The formation of a white precipitate indicates the presence of aniline, while the lack of reaction indicates cyclohexylamine. Therefore, the Bromine test can effectively distinguish between the two compounds. ### Final Answer The correct method to distinguish cyclohexylamine from aniline is the **Bromine test** (Option C). ---
