Major Pproduct of c.

Step by step solution

01

Hofmann elimination

It is the only possible way of converting 1掳 amines into a better leaving group. The 1掳 amine is converted into a quaternary ammonium salt before undergoing 尾-elimination.

02

Conditions for Hofmann elimination reaction

The reaction consists of 3 steps, all of which take place in one single step.

The reaction takes place via an anti-periplanar geometry, according to which the hydrogen atom and the amine group should be present on the opposite sides of the molecule.

03

Mechanism of the given reaction

The C-C bonds are rotated in the given molecules to obtain the anti geometry of the hydrogen atom and the amine group.

a

The given structure already has hydrogen and amine group anti to each other. Hence, the product of the reaction is given hereunder.

Product of a.

b

The C-C bond is rotated 120掳 counterclockwise. The product of the reaction is given hereunder.

Product of b.

c

The C-C bond is rotated 120掳counterclockwise. The product of the reaction is given hereunder.

Product of c.
