B. Hoffmann bromamide reaction is not given by alkyl amides.

C. Primary amines can be synthesized by Hoffmann bromamide degradation.

D. Secondary amide on reaction with Br2 and NaOH will give secondary amine.

E. The by-products of Hoffmann degradation are Na2CO3, NaBr and H2O.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • (3) Starch and cellulose are typical examples of polysaccharides, which are very high molecular weight compounds of more than ten monosaccharide units.
  • (4) Open chain and cyclic structures co-exist at equilibrium that are responsible for certain properties as in the case of D-(+)-glucose.

Question 4:

An organic compound (P) on treatment with aqueous ammonia under hot condition forms compound (Q) which on heating with \( \mathrm{Br_2} \) and KOH forms compound (R) having molecular formula \( \mathrm{C_6H_7N} \). Name P, Q and R respectively are :
