The compound shown does not give the carbylamine test. Select all of the structures shown that give a foul-smelling isocyanide on warming with $CHCl X_{3}$ and alcoholic KOH.

AStructure A
BStructure B
CStructure C
DStructure D

Answer: B, D

The carbylamine reaction needs a primary amine (

- NH X_{2}

on carbon). B (aniline) and D (isopropylamine) are primary amines. A is secondary, and C is an amide whose nitrogen is not a free amine, so neither gives the test.
