Paragraph:
\(RCONH _2\) is converted into \(RNH _2\) by means of Hofmann bromamide degradation.

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:
How can the conversion of (i) to (ii) be brought about?

  1. A \(\mathrm{KBr}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{KBr}+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{ONa}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{KBr}+\mathrm{KOH}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Br}_2+\mathrm{KOH}\)
