Question
Explain the following reaction with a suitable example.
Hofmann elimination reaction
Solution
- When tetraalkylammonium halide is heated with moist silver oxide, it gives quaternary ammonium hydroxide.
- Quaternary ammonium hydroxides on strong heating undergo β-elimination to give an alkene. This reaction is called Hofmann elimination.
- The least substituted alkene is obtained as a major product (in contrast to Saytzeff elimination).
e.g. Hofmann elimination reaction of N, N, N-Triethylpropylammonium iodide
