Write short notes on Hofmann's bromide reaction .

Explanation

Hofmann's bromide reaction : when Amides are treated with bromine in the presence of aqueous or ethanol,ic solution of KOH, primary amines with one carbon atom less than the parent amides are obtained .
`underset(" amide")R-overset(O) overset(||)C-NH_(2) overset(Br_(2)//KOH)to underset("primary amine")(R-NH_(2)) + K_(2)CO_(3) + KBr + H_(2)O`
