EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE

KOH WAS TAKEN IN A TEST UNPLESANT SMELLING PRESENCE OF PRIMARY
TUBE AND DISSOLVED IN ISOCYANIDE IS FORMED AMINE IS CONFIRMED
ETHANOL. FEW DROPS OF
CHCl3 WERE ADDED TO IT
FOLLOWED BY ADDING
GIVEN COMPOUND. THE
CONTENTS WERE HEATED
THREE TEST TUBES
MARKED A B AND C
WERE TAKEN

1. In test tube A the given

organic compound WAS
dissolved in 2ml of
dilute hydrochloric
acid.and the test tube
was kept in ice bath
2. In test tube B aqueous
solution of sodium
nitrite solution was
prepared. and the test
tube was kept in ice
bath
3. In test tube C beta
naphthol was dissolved
in dilute sodium
hydroxide. and the test
tube was kept in ice
bath
4. the contents in test tube
B were added to the
mixture in test tube A.
the test tube was kept in
ice bath
5. The resulting mixture is
added to the contents in
test tube C.
 6. the mixture was stirred
with a glass rod.

Formation of yellow oily

liquid

Orange – red suspension PRESENCE OF AROMATIC

dye was fprmed AMINE IS CONFIRMED

REACTIONS INVOLVED
CARBYLAMINE TEST

R-NH2 + 3KOH + CHCl3 → RNC(isocyanide) + 3KCl + 3H2O

AZO DYE TEST

C6H5NH2 + HNO2 → C6H5-N≡N+Cl–

RESULT : THE GIVEN THE GIVEN ORGANIC SAMPLE NO 6 is AROMATIC AMINE group(R-
NH2)
