Q40 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2018 (04 May Shift 1) · Chemistry

Which product of the following reactions fails to give the carbylamine test ?

  • A
    Hoffmann bromide degradation
  • B
    Gabriel phthalimide synthesis
  • C
    Reduction of nitrites with LiAlH4
  • Correct answer
    D
    Reduction of tertiary amides with LiAlH4

Solution

The secondary and tertiary amines do not exhibit carbylamine reactions. As tertiary amides are derived from secondary amines, reduction of tertiary amides with LiAlH4 fails to give the carbylamine test.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
