Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
We know that $ \underset{Aniline}{\mathop{C_6H_5NH_2}},+\underset{Chloroform}{\mathop{CHCl_3}},+3KOH\to \underset{\text{phenyl isocyanide},}{\mathop{C_6H_5NC+3KCl+3H_2O}}, $ Thus in this reaction phenyl isocyanide is produced. this is called carbylamine reaction.
