Ah, so the amide loses that one carbon as carbon dioxide, yaar – it’s like a strict exit during rearrangement. That’s why the amine is shorter by a carbon chain.
But honestly, I keep thinking of it like my monthly money order home – you send what’s essential, the core structure, but the extra bit, like that carbon, gets spent in the process, leaving only what’s needed behind.
Every time I explain this, I’m reminded of budgeting my tiffin expenses; you plan carefully, and some portion just… vanishes, to keep the main thing intact.
