Nitrogen Containing CompoundHard
Question
Acetamide is treated separately with the following four reagents. Which one of these would give methylamine ?
Options
A.PCl5
B.Soda lime
C.NaOH + Br2
D.Hot conc. H2SO4
Solution
Amides give amines, with one carbon less than amide when treated with Br2/alkali. (Hoffmann bromamide reaction)
CH3CONH2 + Br2 + 4NaOH → CH3NH2 + Na2CO3 + 2NaBr + 2H2O
CH3CONH2 + Br2 + 4NaOH → CH3NH2 + Na2CO3 + 2NaBr + 2H2O
