Hoffmann Bromamide reaction is a method of preparing primary amines. Reagent: Amide reaction with bromine and NaOH. R- overset underset||OC-NH 2+ Br 2 +4 NaOH arrow R - NH 2+ Na 2 CO 3+2 NaBr +2 H 2 O The amine formed has one carbor less than the parent amide. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/4e96829743f4fee9ece605eaf800b129-.png" />

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

Hoffmann Bromamide reaction is a method of preparing primary amines.
Reagent: Amide reaction with bromine and NaOH.
$R - C ∣∣ O - N H_{2} + B r_{2} + 4 N a O H \to R - N H_{2} + N a_{2} C O_{3} + 2 N a B r + 2 H_{2} O$
The amine formed has one carbor less than the parent amide.
