Q. Among the following which one does not act as an intermediate in Hofmann rearrangement

Amines

Solution:

$R \overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C} N H_{2}+B r_{2}+K O H \longrightarrow R C O N H B r+K B r+H_{2} O$
$R C O N H B r+K O H \longrightarrow R N C O+K B r+H_{2} O$
$R N C O+2 K O H \longrightarrow R N H_{2}+K_{2} C O_{3}$
$R C O N H_{2}+B r_{2}+4 K O H \longrightarrow R N H_{2}+2 K B r+K_{2} C O_{3}+2 H_{2} O$
