RCONH 2 is converted into RNH 2 by means of Hofmann's bromamide degradation. <img class=img-fluid question-image alt=image src=https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/f2304a10387653cf0a5d7c78914d1d88-.png /> In this reaction, RCONHBr is formed from which this reaction has derived its name. Electron donating group at phenyl activates the reaction. Hofmann's degradation reaction is an intramolecular reaction. (2006,3 × 4 M =12 M ) How can the conversion of (i) to (ii) be brought about?
