Q. In the Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction, the number of moles of $N a O H$ and $B r_{2}$ used per mole of amine produced are :

One mole of NaOH and one mole of $B r_{2}$ .

Four moles of NaOH and two moles of $B r_{2}$ .

Two moles of NaOH and two moles of $B r_{2}$

Four moles of NaOH and one mole of $B r_{2}$

$R - C ∣∣ O - N H_{2} + B r_{2} + 4 N a O H ⟶ R - N H_{2} + 2 N a B r + N a_{2} C O_{3}$
