Correct answer: D
- Identify the reaction
The given reaction is:
Here, is a primary amine (ethylamine), and it is reacting with chloroform () and alkali ().
This is the carbylamine reaction (also called isocyanide test).
- General form of carbylamine reaction
A primary amine reacts with chloroform and alcoholic KOH to give an isocyanide:
So:
- the amine gives isocyanide
- the inorganic salt formed is
- Apply to the given amine
Here,
Therefore,
So,
- Check the options
-
Option A: and
Wrong, because is a nitrile, not isocyanide. -
Option B: and
Wrong, this is an amide and not formed in carbylamine reaction. -
Option C: and
Wrong, salt formed is , not . -
Option D: and
Correct.
- Final answer
So the correct option is D.
