Paragraph: $$ \mathrm{RCONH}_2 \text { is converted into } \mathrm{RNH}_2 \text { by means of Hofmann bromamide degradation. } $$Figure
In this reaction, $R \mathrm{CONHBr}$ is formed from which this reaction has derived its name. Electron donating group at phenyl activates the reaction. Hofmann degradation reaction is an intramolecular reaction.Question: What are the constituent amines formed when the mixture of (i) and (ii) undergoes Hofmann bromamide degradation?Figure

Solution

Figure
$$ \text { Since the overall reaction is intermolecular, hence there will be no effect on product formation. } $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
