The greater the electron density towards the ring, the greater its basic strength.

The electron withdrawing group reduces basic strength, whereas the electron donating group increases basic strength.

Hoffmann invented a method for producing primary amines by treating an amide with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution. An alkyl or aryl group migrates from the amide's carbonyl carbon to the nitrogen atom during this degradation reaction.

Ans: (B) 

Hoffmann bromamide reaction- it is also called degradation reaction as in this reaction primary amide group is treated with halogen first (Br) then the halogen-substituted amide product is converted to a primary amine with the release of carbon dioxide gas.

Lithium aluminium hydride in ether is a strong reducing agent that donates its hydride ion to any C=O containing functional groups into corresponding reduced compounds. Here, the amide group is converted to an amine functional group.

LiAlH₄ in ether is the best reagent for converting 2-phenylpropanamide to 2-phenylpropanamine.

Gabriel synthesis reaction:  

Gabriel's synthesis is a method for producing primary amines. When phthalimide is treated with ethanolic potassium hydroxide, it forms a potassium salt of phthalimide, which when heated with an alkyl halide and then alkaline hydrolyzed yields the corresponding primary amine. This method cannot produce aromatic primary amines because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide.

Potassium cyanide, as cyanide on reduction with sodium metal in alcohol, produces amine with increased carbon atoms.

Ans: (B)

Lithium aluminum hydride in ether is a strong reducing agent that donates its H? hydride ion to any C=O containing a functional group. In addition to LiAlH₄ to aryl nitro compounds, no reaction will be observed, the desired products of amines will not be produced, rather it will form diazobenzene products.
