Kajigaeshi, Shoji published the artcileOxidation using quaternary ammonium polyhalides. I. An efficient method for the Hofmann degradation of amides by use of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide, COA of Formula: C10H16Br3N, the publication is Chemistry Letters (1989), 463-4, database is CAplus.
The reaction of amides with a calculated amount of benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide (I) in aqueous NaOH under mild conditions gave corresponding amines in fairly good yields. Thus benzmide gave 72% aniline in the presence of I in aqueous NaOH.
