Solution
The correct option is DCH3COOH The given sequnce of reactions is CH3CONH2Br2/KOH−−−−−−−−→CH3NH2C6H5COCl−−−−−−−−→CH3NHCOC6H5 The first reaction is Hofmann bromamide degradation in which amide is converted to amine containing one carbon atom less. The second reaction is schotten - Baumann in which amine reacts with acid chloride or acid anhydride to form an amide.
