$RCONH_2$ is converted into $RNH_2$ by means of Hofmann bromamide degradation. In this reaction,$RCONHBr$ is formed from which this reaction has derived its name. Electron donating group at phenyl activates the reaction. Hofmann degradation reaction is an intramolecular reaction.
$1.$ How can the conversion of $(i)$ to $(ii)$ be brought about?
$(A)$ $KBr$
$(B)$ $KBr + CH_3ONa$

$2.$ Which is the rate determining step in Hofmann bromamide degradation?
$(A)$ Formation of $(i)$
$(B)$ Formation of $(ii)$
$(C)$ Formation of $(iii)$
$(D)$ Formation of $(iv)$
$3.$ What are the constituent amines formed when the mixture of $(i)$ and $(ii)$ undergoes Hofmann bromamide degradation?
