What does the hydrolysis of an amide under basic conditions produce?

Answer 1

An amine and the carboxylate anion.

#RC(=O)NR'_2 + ""^(-)OH rarr RC(=O)O^(-) + HNR'_2#

The products are the amine and the salt because the potential carboxylic acid is obviously a much stronger acid than the neutral amine.
