The carbylamine reaction, also known as Hoffman's isocyanide test is a chemical test for detection of primary amines. In this reaction, the analyte is heated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and chloroform. If a primary amine is present, the isocyanide (carbylamine) is formed which are foul smelling substances.

Hi Dude
Carbylamine reaction also known as carbylamine test is a reaction in which primary amines react with KCN in which isocynide is formed producing a foul smell.
Thus it is used as distinction test between amines and other compounds.
