Question:medium
A compound \(C_3H_5N\) undergoes reduction to form a primary amine. The amine gives compounds [B] and [C] in the following reactions. Identify [B] and [C].
A compound \(C_3H_5N\) undergoes reduction to form a primary amine. The amine gives compounds [B] and [C] in the following reactions. Identify [B] and [C].
Show Hint
Only primary amines give the carbylamine test and produce foul-smelling isocyanides. Nitriles on reduction always form primary amines having one extra carbon atom in the chain.
