Carbylamine for amino (bad smell)?

amines can be detected by reacting the amines with nitrous acid

primary amine will give benzene diazonium chloride and then the nitrogen gas ceases to give a clear solution

secondary amine will give yellow oily product

aryl amine on reacting with nitrous acid gives diazonium chloride which on reaction with β napthol to give a orange azo dye

on reacting the nitro cpds with Zn/NH4Cl gives a hydroxyl amine which leads to in pH and therefore in finding the change of pH of the soln it can be identified

but i think this will not be a confirmatory test sir

For Detection of Amino Acid Group

1.CARBYLAMINE TEST:

To 1ml of the Organic Compound add 1ml of Concentrated HCl,five drops of CHCl3 and 2ml of alcoholic potash.Warm the Test tube.

Then U'll get Offensive Smelling gas

2LITMUS TEST:

Keep a Pinch of the Organic compound on a moist red Litmus Paper.

Then U'll See Red Litmus turns Blue...........

machan, will diazotization work in non aniline compounds? [7]

no machan i think dat it may work but the diazonium salt formed will be unstable only for amino cpds and so they will easily liberate N2 gas da
