Assertion : Alkyl isocyanides are less stable than isomeric cyanides. Reason : Alkyl isocyanides are hydrolysed by an aqueous solution of an alkali.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Explanation:
Alkyl isocyanides undergo hydrolysis with dilute mineral acids due to the attraction between the negative charge on the carbon atom and positively charged ions from the acid. Exposure to alkali does not induce hydrolysis because the alkali ions are repelled by the negative charge on the carbon atom. So the option (3) is correct.
