(C) amide to amine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hofmann's bromamide reaction is used to convert amide to amine
\[
R \mathrm{CONH}_{2}+\mathrm{Br}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KOH} \longrightarrow R \mathrm{NH}_{2}
\]
Amide
Amine
\[
+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+2 \mathrm{KBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\]
\[
R \mathrm{CONH}_{2}+\mathrm{Br}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KOH} \longrightarrow R \mathrm{NH}_{2}
\]
Amide
Amine
\[
+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+2 \mathrm{KBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\]
