Question
Intermediates formed during reaction of
Intermediates formed during reaction of 
with $$B{r_2}$$ and $$KOH$$ are
A.
$$RCONHBr{\text{ and }}RNCO$$
B.
$$RNHCOBr{\text{ and }}RNCO$$
C.
$$RNHBr{\text{ and }}RCONHBr$$
D.
$$RCONB{r_2}$$
Answer :
$$RCONHBr{\text{ and }}RNCO$$
Solution :
The reaction,
$$RCON{H_2} + B{r_2} + KOH \to RN{H_2}$$
is known as Hofmann bromamide reaction. The mechanism of this reaction is given as :
