Q. How many structural isomers having $C _{3} H _{9} N$ formula will NOT give Hoffmann's isocyanide test?

Amines

Solution:

Four isomeric amines are possible having $C _{3} H _{9} N$ formula:

Hoffmann's isocyanide test is not given $2^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$ amines.
Therefore, two structural isomers having $C _{3} H _{9} N$ formula will NOT give Hoffmann's isocyanide test.
