Q. $C_6 H_5 CONHCH_3$ can be converted into $C_6 H_5 CH_2 NHCH_3$ by

AIIMSAIIMS 2005Amines

Solution:

Amide can be converted to amine by reduction with $Zn / Hg / HCl$.
$C _{6} H _{5} CONHCH _{3} \xrightarrow{ Zn - Hg / HCl } C_6H_5CH_2NHCH_3$
Amide $\xrightarrow[or LiAlH_4]{ Na / C _{2} H _{5} OH }$ amine.
Amide $+ Br _{2}+ KOH \xrightarrow{343\, K } p$-amine
(Hofmann's bromamide reaction)
