Question

What is the difference between Hofmann-elimination and Zaitsev's rule?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hofmann elimination is an elimination reaction of an amine where the least stable (least substituted) alkene, the Hofmann product, is formed. This tendency, known as the Hofmann alkene synthesis rule, is in contrast to usual elimination reactions, where Zaitsev's rule predicts the formation of the most stable alkene.
