Chapter 10, Problem 10.29P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The complete, detailed mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn, and the major product is to be predicted for the same reaction.

Concept introduction:

The primary amine containing one or more beta hydrogen atom shows reaction with methyl iodide, followed by aqueous silver oxide, followed by heat. In this reaction, the primary amine is transformed to an alkene. Hoffman elimination reaction takes place in three stages. Stage one consists of methylation of the nitrogen atom in the given amine to form a quaternary ammonium salt. In stage two, aqueous silver oxide, when heated, produces silver hydroxide, which serves as a strong base. This silver hydroxide formed reacts with the quaternary ammonium salt to replace the iodine by hydroxyl group. Stage three consists of two steps. In step one, the strong base abstracts the alpha proton, forming an alkene, and at the same time, the primary amine leaves as a good leaving group. This creates the least substituted alkene as the base removes the proton from the least substituted carbon atom. This reaction is called as Hoffman elimination reaction. The major alkene formed in this reaction is the anti-Zaitsev product. In anti-Zaitsev product, a least substituted alkene is produced.

PLEASE READ!!! I DONT WANT EXAMPLES, I DONT WANT WORDS OR PARAGRAPHS FOR THE MECHANISM!!! THANKS First image: QUESTION 6. I have to show, with ARROWS and STRUCTURES, the mechanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary. I also tried to draw the mechanism, tell me what to change. Please note that its an AMIDE thats formed not an AMINE the nitrogen has ONE hydrogen and one Phenyl-C-Phenyl. I already asked for this mechanism and got as a final product ...-NH2 not whats shown on the picture, thank you Ths second part. QUESTION 3. I just need a way to synthesize the lactone A, I already started please continue from where I left it  Second image: I simply need the products, substrates or reagents, thank you
