(a)
Interpretation: The major Hofmann elimination product formed from the given amine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: The major Hofmann elimination product formed from the given amine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Amines are the derivatives of ammonia consisting of nitrogen atom with the lone pair of electrons. They are basic compounds. Hofmann’s elimination reaction involves the less substituted alkene as a more favourable product, whereas According to Zaitsev’s rule, the more substituted alkene is considered as more favourable product.
