(a) alkyl isocyanide
(b) alkyl cyanide
(c) alkanamide
(d) phthalimide and alkyl halide

Correct Answer:

alkyl isocyanide

Secondary amines are formed when isonitriles are reduced with hydrogen in presence of pt catalyst. R – N ≡ C + 4[H] → RNHCH₃. Reduction of alkyl cyanide, alkanamide, phthalimide and alkyl halide yield primary amines.
