$R - CO - {NH}_{2} + {Br}_{2} + NaOH \to R - {NH}_{2} + {Na}_{2} {CO}_{3} + NaBr + H_{2} O R - CO - {NH}_{2} + \bar{O} H \to R - CO - \bar{NH} \overset{{Br}_{2}}{⟶} R - CO - NH - Br \overset{{OH}^{-}}{⟶} R - CO - \bar{N} - Br \overset{migration of R}{⟶} R - NCO \overset{2 OH}{⟶} {RNH}_{2} + {CO}_{3}^{2 -}$

In this reaction of alkyl as well as aryl group can migrate to electron deficient nitrogen atom.
