Question

When methyl isocyanide ($CH_3NC$) undergoes complete chemical reduction utilizing a powerful reagent like $LiAlH_4$, what is the exact identity of the resulting amine?

Answer: D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Isocyanides feature the nitrogen atom located between the alkyl chain and the terminal carbon. Complete reduction specifically forces hydrogen onto both the carbon and nitrogen, yielding strictly the secondary ($2^\circ$) amine, dimethylamine ($CH_3NHCH_3$).
