Carbylamine reaction can be used to identify primary amino group in a given organic compound. When primary amines are treated with chloroform and alcoholic KOH, they give isocyanides (carbylamines) having very unpleasant smell which can be easily detected.
$R N H_{2} + C H C l_{3} + 3 K O H \to R N C + 3 K C l + 3 H_{2} O$
