Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reaction described is the $	ext{Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction}$.In this reaction,an amide is treated with bromine $(Br_2)$ in the presence of an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$.This process results in the degradation of the amide to a primary amine containing one carbon atom less than the original amide.For example: $	ext{CH}_3	ext{CONH}_2$ $\xrightarrow{	ext{Br}_2/	ext{NaOH}} 	ext{CH}_3	ext{NH}_2 + 	ext{Na}_2	ext{CO}_3 + 2	ext{NaBr} + 2	ext{H}_2	ext{O}$.Thus,the amine formed has one less $C$ atom than the amide.
