CHCl3 (chloroform) on warming with alcohol  and KOH and aniline gives carbylamine. The distinguishing feature is its foul smell. while if the same test is performed on carbon tetra chloride, no effect will be shown. CCl4 do not show the above test.

CHCl3 on warming with alc.  
KOH and aniline will give foul smelling of isocyanide 
Whereas CCl4 will not give this reaction. 

CHCl3 + C6H5 – 3KOH - - C6H5 – CN(foul smell) +3KCL + 3H2O 

CCl4 gives no foul smell.
