Question

Methyl isocyanide on reduction using $LiAl{H}_4$ gives:

• A. Methyl amine
• B. Ethyl amine
• C. Di methyl amine
• D. Tri methyl amine

Answer 1

The correct option is C Di methyl amine

Methyl isocyanide on reduction using $LiAl{H}_4$ gives dimethyl amine.
$C{H}_3-N^{+}\equiv C^{-}\stackrel{LiAl{H}_4}{\to }C{H}_3-NH-C{H}_3$
Two hydrogen molecules are added across $N\equiv C$ triple bond.
