Solution

The correct option is B Br2/KOH,HNO2
CH3CH2CONH2ACH3CH2NH2BCH3CH2OH

In the above sequence A & B respectively are Br2/KOH and HNO2

The first step is Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction in which an amide (propanamide) is converted to an amine (ethylamine) containing one carbon atom less. The reagent A is bromine in presence of KOH. In the second step, aliphatic primary amine (ethyl amine) reacts with nitrous acid (reagent B) to form aliphatic primary alcohol (ethyl alcohol).
