best_answer

Ethanoic acid on reacting with SOCl_{2} replaces the OH by Cl and then reacts it with an excess of ammonia molecule to produce methanamide (CH_{3}CONH_{2}) which by Hoffmann bromamide degradation reaction gives us desired product (methenamine)

\\CH_{3}COOH+SOCl_{2}\rightarrow CH_{3}COCl\overset{NH_{3}(excess)}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}CONH_{2} \overset{Br_{2}+KOH}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}NH_{2}
