A) \[R-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-Cl\]
B) \[RCONHC{{H}_{3}}\]
C) \[RCON{{H}_{2}}\]
D) \[RCOOR\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Hofmann Reaction: In this reaction acid amide group reacts with \[B{{r}_{2}}\] in presence of \[NaOH\] or \[KOH\] to give primary amine group. The amine is one carbon less than the parent amide. So, the reaction is known as Hofmann degradation reaction. \[\underset{Acid\,amide}{\mathop{R-CON{{H}_{2}}}}\,+B{{r}_{2}}+4KOH\xrightarrow{\Delta }\] \[\underset{\text{Primary}\,\text{amine}}{\mathop{RN{{H}_{2}}}}\,+2KBr+{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
