MCQ
Indicate which nitrogen compound amongst the following would undergo Hofmann's reaction (i.e. reaction with $B{r_2}$ and strong $KOH$) to furnish the primary amine ($R - N{H_2}$)
  • A
    $R - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - NH.C{H_3}$
  • B
    $R - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - O.N{H_4}$
  • $R - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - N{H_2}$
  • D
    $R - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - NHOH$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$R - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - N{H_2}$
c
(c) Hofmann degradation of amide

$R-CoN{{H}_{2}}+B{{r}_{2}}+4KOH\xrightarrow{{}}$   $\mathop {R - N{H_2}}\limits_{{\text{primary amine}}}  + 2KBr + {K_2}C{O_3} + 2{H_2}O$
