Which statements are True?
A. In Hoffmann bromamide degradation, 4 moles of NaOH and 2 moles of Br₂ are consumed per mole of an amide.
B. Hoffmann bromamide reaction is not given by alkyl amides.
C. Primary amines can be synthesized by Hoffmann bromamide degradation.
D. Secondary amide on reaction with Br₂ and NaOH will give secondary amine.
E. The by-products of Hoffmann degradation are Na₂CO₃, NaBr and H₂O.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction:
RCONH₂ + 4NaOH + Br₂ → RNH₂ + Na₂CO₃ + 2NaBr + 2H₂O
Statement (A) – False (only 1 mole of Br₂ is consumed, not 2).
Statement (B) – False (alkyl amides do undergo Hoffmann bromamide reaction).
Statement (C) – True. Statement
(D) – False (reaction is given by primary amides, not secondary amides).
