Q. An isocyanide on hydrolysis gives

AMUAMU 2001

Solution:

An isocyanide on hydrolysis gives primary amine and formic acid.
$R NC \xrightarrow{ H _{2} O , H ^{+}} \underset{\text{primary amine}}{R NH _{2}}+ \underset{\text{formic acid}}{HCOOH}$
Alkyl cyanide on hydrolysis gives acid.
$R CN \xrightarrow{ H _{2} O , H ^{+}}R \cdot COOH$
