Diethylmethylamine Benzylamine
Diphenylamine tert-Butylamine
Isopropylamine o-Toluidine
Aniline Ethylmethylamine

Amines

Solution:

Hoffmann's carbylamine test/isocyanide test is given by aliphatic/aromatic $1^{\circ}$ amines. Thus, compounds like benzylamine, tert-butylamine, isopropylamine, $o$-toluidine and aniline will give positive carbylamine reaction.
