Detailed Solution

Reaction I:

R-C(=O)-NH₂ → R-NH₂
 |
 Br₂ + NaOH

Reaction II:

[Cyclic compound with C(=O)-N⁺-R + X⁻] + Nucleophilic reagent (δ⁺ δ⁻) → [Cyclic compound with C(=O)-N-R] + KX

Text at bottom: "Nucleophilic reagent"

Description:

Reaction I shows the conversion of an amide (R-C(=O)-NH₂) to a primary amine (R-NH₂) using bromine and sodium hydroxide, which is characteristic of the Hofmann degradation reaction.
Reaction II depicts a nucleophilic substitution reaction involving a cyclic compound (appears to be a benzene ring) with a carbonyl-nitrogen side chain, where a nucleophilic reagent attacks and displaces the X⁻ group, forming KX as a byproduct.

The scheme illustrates two different synthetic pathways for amine formation through different mechanistic approaches.
