Vedclass · Answer

(C) Hydrolysis of alkyl cyanides $(R-CN)$ in acidic medium yields carboxylic acids $(R-COOH)$ and ammonium ions $(NH_4^+)$,not alkylamines. The reactions for the other options are: $(a)$ $R-X + NH_3 	o R-NH_2 + HX$ (Alkylamine formed) $(b)$ $R-CH=NOH + 4[H] \xrightarrow{Na/C_2H_5OH} R-CH_2-NH_2 + H_2O$ (Alkylamine formed) $(d)$ $R-CONH_2 + 4[H] \xrightarrow{LiAlH_4} R-CH_2-NH_2 + H_2O$ (Alkylamine formed)
