Solution
As per NCERT, the carbylamine reaction is given only by primary amines (aliphatic and aromatic).
C6H5NH2 + CHCl3 + 3KOH C6H5NC + 3KCl + 3H2O
N-Methylaniline and N-ethylaniline are secondary amines and N,N-dimethylaniline is a tertiary amine no isocyanide is formed.
aniline gives the carbylamine test.
