Given below are two statements : Statement - I : In Hofmann degradation reaction, the migration of only an alkyl group takes place from carbonyl carbon of the amide to the nitrogen atom. Statement - II : The group is migrated in Hofmann degradation reaction to electron deficient atom. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
  4. DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Step-by-step solution

The mechanism of Hoffmann bromamide degradation is shown below, In this reaction of alkyl as well as aryl group can migrate to electron deficient nitrogen atom. This migration of alkyl group is taking place towards electron dificient N-atom.
