Thus only ammonia and primary amines can proceed past this step.
Under certain conditions, one can convert primary amines into isothiocyanates.
The primary amines are claimed to completely lack any affinity for the transporters.
The Carbylamine reaction is a chemical test for detection of primary amines.
If a primary amine is present, the isocyanide is formed.
It contains both a primary amine and a primary alcohol.
With primary amines water is lost in an elimination reaction to an imine.
In general, these conditions were not able to couple primary amines due to competitive hydrodehalogenation of the arene.
This produces a precipitate of phthalhydrazide along with the primary amine.
In addition to ammonia, primary and secondary amines are also successful.
