Answer 2

Benzamide reacts with Br₂ and KOH to give

The correct answer is: (4) Aniline.

Explanation:

• The reaction which takes place here is Hofmann's bromamide reaction.
• Hoffmann's bromamide reaction is basically done to convert the primary amide into primary amine in the presence of bromine and alkali.
• The main characteristic of this reaction is that the amine formed in the product will have one carbon less than the reactant amide molecule.

• in this reaction the Benzamide reacts with Bromine and KOH to form Aniline.
• Equation: RCONH₂ + Br₂ + KOH → RNH₂ (where R is benzene ring).
• Hence, the end product formed by Hofmann's degradation is  Aniline.
