    Which of the following reactions is given by only primary amines?

    A)  Reaction with\[HN{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)                         Reaction with chloroform and alcoholic\[KOH\]

    C)                         Reaction with acetyl chloride

    D)                         Reaction with Grignard reagent

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When a primary amine reacts with chloroform in presence of\[alco.\,\,KOH\], it gives \[iso-\]cyanide which has abnoxious odour. This reaction is known as carbylamine reaction and it is given only by primary amines. \[\underset{\text{primary}\,\,\text{amine}}{\mathop{RH{{N}_{2}}}}\,+CHC{{l}_{3}}+\underset{\text{alco}\text{.}}{\mathop{3KOH}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\]                                                 \[RNC+3KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
