In the chemical reaction, CH3CH2NH2 + CHCl3 + 3KOH

Question

ln the chemical reaction, 

CH₃CH₂NH₂ + CHCl₃ + 3KOH → (A) + (B) + 3H₂O

the compounds (A) and (B) are respectively

(a) C₂H₅CN and 3KCl

(b) CH₃CH₂CONH₂ and 3KCl

(c) C₂H₅ NC and 3KCl

(d) C₂H₅ NC and 3KCl

Answer 1

Correct Option (c) C₂H₅ NC and 3KCl

Explanation:

CH₃CH₂ NH₂ + CHCl₃ + 3KOH → (a/c) CH₃CH₂ - N = C + 3KCl + 3H₂O

The above reaction is called carbyiamine reaction in which isocyanide  or carbylamines are produced.
