Question

Write short notes on Hofmann.

Answer 1

HOFMANN ELIMINATION KNOWN AS EXHAUSATIVE METHYLATION , IS THE PROCESS WHERE A QUATERNARY AMMONIUM REACTS TO CREATE A TERTIARY AMINE AND AN ALKENE BY TREATEMENT.

Answer 2

The Hoffman bromamide reaction occurs when bromide is reacted with an amide in an ethanolic solution or aqueous of the sodium hydroxide.

It will work out as the primary amine where the original amide is not produced rather one carbon atom is less in total.

This will gives out the degradation reaction involving the migration of the aryl or alkyl group from the carbonyl carbon atom.
