    Which of the following is Hofmann bromamide reaction?

    A)  \[RCN+4H\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}RC{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COCl+C{{H}_{3}}OH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COOC{{H}_{3}}+HCl\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CN+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{NaOH}C{{H}_{3}}COONa+N{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COON{{H}_{2}}+B{{r}_{2}}+4KOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}+{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2KBr+2{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Hofmann bromamide reaction: \[\underset{acetamide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CON{{H}_{2}}}}\,+B{{r}_{2}}+4KOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[\underset{methyl\text{ }amine}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,+{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2KBr+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
