Question

Which of the following converts $C{H}_{3}CON{H}_2$ to $C{H}_{3}N{H}_2$ ?

• A. $NaBr$
• B. $NaOBr$
• C. $B{r}_2$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$NaOBr$ converts amide group $(-CON{H}_2)$ to amine group $\left(-N{H}_2\right).$
$\mathrm{CH}{}_3\mathrm{CONH}{}_2\stackrel{\mathrm{NaOBr}}{\to }\mathrm{CH}{}_3\mathrm{NH}{}_2+\mathrm{Na}{}_2\mathrm{CO}{}_3$
