Answer :-
The carbylamines reaction, also known as Hofmann's isocyanide test is a chemical test for the 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 (carbylamines) is formed which are foul smelling substances.
Mechanism :-
- The first step is the dehydrohalogenation (hydrogen halide removal from a given substrate) of chloroform to produce dichlorocarbene intermediate, which is very reactive.
- The electrophilic dichlorocarbene attacks the primary amine's nucleophilic nitrogen.
- The elimination of hydrochloric acid leads to an isonitrile formation.
