The product Y for the below reaction is:
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Carbylamine Reaction or Isocyanide Reaction - When chloroform is heated with a primary amine and alcoholic KOH then isocyanide is formed with an extremely unpleasant smell which is also known as carbyl amine. So, option C is correct while all other options are incorrect.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
