Hofmann Bromamide degradation is given by imide and amide. Acetamide reacts with bromine and aqueous or alcoholic KOH to form methyl amine.
Hofmann Bromamide degradation is given by imide and amide. Acetamide reacts with bromine and aqueous or alcoholic KOH to form methyl amine.
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CONH}_{2}+\mathrm{Br}_{2}+4 \mathrm{KOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2}+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+2 \mathrm{KBr}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
This is Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction. The amine formed contains one carbon
atom less than amide.
