Write structure and IUPAC names of (i) The amide which gives propanamide by Hofmann bromamide reaction. (ii) the amine produce by the Hofmann degradation of benzamide.

Answer»

Solution :(i). PROPANAMINE CONTAINS three carbon atoms, therefore, the amide molecule must contain four carbon atoms. THUS, the structure and IUPAC name of the amide containing four carbon atoms is
`UNDERSET("Butanamide")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-NH_(2))`.
The complete reaction is
`underset("Butanamide")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CONH_(2))+ Br_(2)+4KOH overset(Delta)to underset("Propan-1-amine")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-NH_(2))+ 2KB r+K_(2)CO_(3)+2H_(2)O`
(ii) Benzamide is an aromatic amide containing seven carbon atoms. therefore, the amine FORMED from benzamide is aromatic primary amine containing six carbon atom, i.e.,

The complete reaction is ltBrgt .
