    In the Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction, the number of moles of NaOH and \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\]used per mole of amine produced are : [JEE Main Solved Paper-2016 ]

    A) Four moles of NaOH and one mole of \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    B)  One mole of NaOH and one mole of \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    C)  Four moles of NaOH and two moles of \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    D) Two moles of NaOH and two moles of \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    4 moles of NaOH and one mole of Br2 is required during production of on mole of amine during Hoffmann's bromamide degradation reaction. \[R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{O} \\  \mathbf{||} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}+B{{r}_{2}}+4NaOH\to R-N{{H}_{2}}\] \[+{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2NaBr+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
