Ethyl isocyanide on hydrolysis in acidic medium generates

Ethyl isocyanide on hydrolysis in acidic medium generates

Options

  1. Apropanoic acid and ammonium salt
  2. Bethanoic acid and ammonium salt
  3. Cmethylamine salt and ethanoic acid
  4. Dethylamine salt and methanoic acid

Correct answer

D. ethylamine salt and methanoic acid

Step-by-step solution

CH3CH2 N≡C+H2O⟶H+CH3CH2NH2+HCOOH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{~N} \equiv \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\mathrm{H}^{+}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2+\mathrm{HCOOH}. Therefore it gives only one mono chloroalkane.
