Solution
The correct option is BCH3CH2CH2OH CH3CH2CH2CONH2Ca(OH)2,Cl2−−−−−−−−→ΔCH3CH2CH2NH2XHNO2−−−−→CH3CH2CH2OHZ The first step is the Hoffmann's bromamide reaction in which butanamide gives n-propyl amine which contains one carbon atom less. In the second reaction, nitrous acid reacts with n-propyl amine to form n propyl alcohol.
