When acetamide is treated with \(\mathrm{Br}_{2}\) and caustic soda, the product formed is
- A N-bromamide
- B bromoacetic acid
- C methanamine
- D ethanamine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) methanamine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Amides react with bromine and caustic soda to give their corresponding primary amines. Thus, acetamide gives methanamine. This reaction is known as Hofmann's bromamide degradation reaction.
