For full marks, just follow the steps: oxidise ethanol to ethanoic acid with alkaline KMnO₄, then treat it with ammonia to form ethanamide, and reduce it with Br₂/NaOH in Hoffmann bromamide reaction. But I remember mechanisms by doing them on paper, after a long day of twisting coir—my fingers sore, the smell of rope and sea-air mixing. That physical tiredness makes the structures stick in my mind, more than any book. Small victory, no? This tired hand remembers what the fresh mind sometimes forgets.
