In a set of reactions propionic acid yielded a compound 'd'.
(\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COOH}\xrightarrow{\mathrm{SOCl}_2}{ }^{\prime} b^{\prime} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{NH}_3}{ }^{\prime} c^{\prime} \xrightarrow[\mathrm{Br}_2]{\mathrm{KOH}}{ }^{\prime} \mathrm{d}^{\prime})
The structure of 'd' would be:![In a set of reactions propionic acid yielded a compound 'd'.

Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Related Theory When an amide is treated with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide, degradation of amide takes place leading to the formation of primary amine. This reaction is known as Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction.
