Chemistry Libermann's Nitroso test (of Amines)

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on Libermann's Nitroso test for amines, where the original poster believes the correct answers should be options A and C, but their textbook states A, B, and C. They seek clarification on the reaction mechanism, noting that their teacher indicated only primary and secondary amines yield a positive result. There is confusion regarding the inclusion of option B, with the poster initially asserting it was incorrect but later correcting themselves to suggest it might be correct. The conversation highlights the discrepancies between personal understanding and textbook information regarding the test results.
