Question

Propanamide to propanamine by hoffman degredation

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Hofmann rearrangement is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one fewer carbon atom0

Answer 2

Explanation:

The intermediate isocyanate is hydrolyzed to a primary amine, giving off carbon dioxide. Base abstracts an acidic N-H proton, yielding an anion. The anion reacts with bromine in an α-substitution reaction to give an N-bromoamide. Base abstraction of the remaining amide proton gives a bromoamide anion.
