What happens when phenyl isocyanide on reduction with LiAlH4?

When phenyl isocyanide is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4), it undergoes a reduction reaction to form an amine. Specifically, the isocyanide group (-N≡C) is converted into a primary amine, resulting in the formation of phenylmethanamine (also known as benzylamine). This reaction highlights the ability of LiAlH4 to reduce various functional groups, including isocyanides, to amines.
