Question

Amides can be converted into amines by the reactions named after.
(A) Perkin
(B) Claisen
(C) Hofmann
(D )Kekule

Answer 1

Hint: Here, in this question we have to give the name of the reaction by which we can form amines by using amides and in what reaction will take place we have to describe the reaction as well as we need the name of that reaction. There are many types of options given above from which we have to give the correct name reaction to convert the amides into amines.

Complete Step by Step Solution:
As we know that there is a reaction named Hofmann Bromamide Reaction in which we do the following reaction which is given below,
\[(R - CO - N{H_2}) + B{r_2} + 4NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}R - N{H_2} + N{a_2}C{O_3} + 2NaBr + 2{H_2}O\]
Here in the above reaction, the \[(R - CO - N{H_2})\] is the amide which is reacted with \[B{r_2}\] and sodium hydroxide as a result from the reaction we get in the product as,
In product \[R - N{H_2}\] is the amine and with this we get, Sodium carbonate with mixture of Sodium bromide and Water as in the solution.
From collaborating the whole data we get that by using Hofmann Bromamide Reaction, we can convert amides into amines.
Therefore, from the whole conclusion the answer from the options is Hofmann.
Hence, the correct answer is (C).

Note: As this question is a name reaction based question where we have to know many types of name reaction as not only in this question name reaction is very important in many types of examinations and in many types of competition exams like JEE.
