Question

conversion of ethanamide into methanamine​

Answer 1

Answer:

The method used is Hoffmann bromamide degradation

Explanation:

CH3CONH2 + Br + NaOH----> CH3NH2 + NaBr + Na2CO3 + H2O

Hope it helps✌

Answer 2

Answer :-

$CH_{3}CONH_{3} + Br + NaOH --- > > CH_{3}NH_{2} + NaBr + Na_{2}CO_{3} + H_{2}O$

When an amide is treated with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide, degradation of amide takes place leading to the formation of primary amine. This reaction involving degradation of amide and is popularly known as Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction.

In Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction, an amide reacts with bromine and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide which produces primary amine. This is a degradation reaction as the primary amine in the product has one carbon lesser than primary amide (in the reactant).
