- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Identify the reaction type
Chloroform, , when treated with alcoholic , generates dichlorocarbene, .
-
Reaction of primary amine with chloroform and alcoholic KOH
-Toluidine is a primary aromatic amine:
A primary amine reacts with chloroform and alcoholic in the carbylamine reaction to form an isocyanide (isonitrile).
General reaction:
-
Apply to -toluidine
Here, . Therefore:
So the product formed is -tolyl isocyanide (or -methyl phenyl isocyanide).
-
Conclusion
The reaction gives an isocyanide as the final product.
Since the stored correct answer is C, the correct option must correspond to -tolyl isocyanide.
