The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds will undergo the carbylamine reaction, we need to understand what the carbylamine test is and the conditions under which it occurs. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Carbylamine Reaction**: - The carbylamine reaction is a test for primary amines. When a primary amine reacts with chloroform (CHCl3) in the presence of a strong base (like potassium hydroxide, KOH), it produces an isocyanide (carbylamine), which has a characteristic foul odor. 2. **Identifying Primary Amines**: - To determine which compounds will undergo the carbylamine reaction, we need to identify which of the given compounds are primary amines. - Primary amines have the general structure R-NH2, where R is an alkyl or aryl group. 3. **Analyzing the Given Compounds**: - Look at each of the compounds provided in the options. - Check if they contain the -NH2 group and whether it is attached to a carbon that is only connected to one other carbon (indicating it is a primary amine). 4. **Testing Each Compound**: - For each compound: - If it is a primary amine, it will react with chloroform and KOH to produce an isocyanide. - If it is a secondary or tertiary amine, or if it is not an amine at all, it will not undergo the carbylamine reaction. 5. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, identify the compound(s) that are primary amines. These are the compounds that will undergo the carbylamine reaction. ### Example Analysis: - If the options were: 1. Methylamine (CH3NH2) - Primary amine 2. Dimethylamine (CH3)2NH - Secondary amine 3. Trimethylamine (CH3)3N - Tertiary amine 4. Aniline (C6H5NH2) - Primary amine - The compounds that will undergo the carbylamine reaction are Methylamine and Aniline, as they are primary amines. ### Final Answer: - The compounds that will undergo the carbylamine reaction are the primary amines identified from the options. ---
