Indicate which nitrogen compound amongst the following would undergo Hoffmann reaction (i.e., reaction with Br2 and strong KOH) to furnish the primary amine (R–NH2):
- RCONHCH3
- RCOONH4
- RCONH2
- R–CO–NHOH
Correct answer: RCONH2
Solution
The Hoffmann reaction specifically involves primary amides (RCONH2) reacting with Br2 and strong KOH to yield primary amines (R–NH2). Among the given options, only RCONH2 is a primary amide.
