In the Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction, the number of moles of \(NaOH\) and \(Br_2\) used per mole of amine produced are :

  1. A Two moles of \(NaOH\) and two moles of \(Br_2.\)
  2. B Four moles of \(NaOH\) and one mole of \(Br_2.\)
  3. C One mole of \(NaOH\) and one mole of \(Br_2.\)
  4. D Four moles of \(NaOH\) and two moles of \(Br_2.\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Four moles of \(NaOH\) and one mole of \(Br_2.\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hofmann-bromamide degradation reaction is given as \(\mathrm{RCONH}_{2}+4 \mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{Br}_{2} \rightarrow \)\(\mathrm{RNH}_{2}+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+2 \mathrm{NaBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) Hence four moles of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) and one mole of…
