Q87 / 180 · NEET 2017 · Chemistry

Which of the following reaction is appropriate for converting acetamide to methanamine?

A
Carbylamine reaction
Correct answer
B
Hofmann bromamide reaction
C
Stephens reaction
D
Gabriels phthalimide synthesis

Solution

{CH}_{3} - \overset{\overset{O}{||}}{C} - {NH}_{2} + {Br}_{2} + 4 NaOH \overset{Δ}{\to} {CH}_{3} - {NH}_{2} + 2 NaBr + {Na}_{2} {CO}_{3} + 3 H_{2} O

This is Hofmann bromamide reaction.

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