For the reaction, <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/84c4764b8bef05d64ce90ee79df702b8-.png" /> Hence, it is also called Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction. Hence, compound ' D ' is CH 3- CH 2- NH 2. Hofmann bromamide reaction degrade the one C in amine product from amide.

Q. In a set of reactions propionic acid yielded a compound $D$ .
$C H_{3} C H_{2} COO H SOC L_{2} B N H_{3} C K O H B r_{2} D$
The structure of $D$ would be

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} N H_{2}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} CON H_{2}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} N H N H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} N H_{2}$

For the reaction,

Hence, it is also called Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction.
Hence, compound ' $D$ ' is $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - N H_{2}$ .
Hofmann bromamide reaction degrade the one $C$ in amine product from amide.
