Question

what happens when aniline is heated with chloroform and alcoholic KOH solution?​

Answer 1

Answer:

benzeneisocyanide is formed

Explanation:

chloroform and alchoholic KOH are reagents for isocyanide (carbylamine) reaction. The ammonium group of aniline changes to isocyanide, so product is benzeneisocyanide.

(note: this reaction only takes place in primary amines)

Answer 2

Answer:

As it is only effective for primary amines, the carbylamine reaction can be used as a chemical test for their presence. ... In this reaction, the analyte is heated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and chloroform. If a primary amine is present, the isocyanide (carbylamine) is formed, as indicated by a foul odour.
