Describe the following giving the relevant chemical equation in each case:

(i) Carbylamines reaction

(ii) Hofmann’s bromamide reaction.


(i) Carbylamines reaction

Carbylamines reaction is used as a test for the identification of primary amines. When aliphatic and aromatic primary amines are heated with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide, carbylamines (or isocyanides) are formed. These carbylamines have very unpleasant odours.

Secondary and tertiary amines do not respond to this test.

 

For example, 

 

(b) Hoffmann bromamide reaction

When an amide is treated with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide, a primary amine with one carbon atom less than the original amide is produced. This degradation reaction is known as Hoffmann bromamide reaction. This reaction involves the migration of an alkyl or aryl group from the carbonyl carbon atom of the amide to the nitrogen atom.
