The products of hydrolysis of phenyl isocyanide are option 2) Aniline and formic acid.
Phenyl isocyanide reacts 2 parts or moles of water to undergo hydrolysis. The triple bond between Nitrogen and Carbon breaks to form aniline and formic acid.
The handling of Phenyl isocyanide required special attention as it has a tremendous pungent odour and tear causing vapours. It is a colourless liquid put to use to produce primary amines.
