Question
Chapter 20, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An experiment is to be suggested to test the proposition that the Hofmann reaction is an intramolecular rearrangement.
Concept introduction:
Hofmann rearrangement is the reaction where amides are treated with bromine in a basic solution results in loss of carbonyl carbon
It is a conversion reaction of primary amide to primary

- Under strongly acidic conditions, hexane is observed to undergo an isomerization process, during which it is converted into branched alkanes having the same molecular formula as hexane (C6H₁4). The rate at which each constitutional isomer is produced is related to the type of acid that is used in the reaction and the degree of mixing that occurs during the reaction (J. Chem. Soc., Perkins Trans. 2 1999, 12, 2715-2718). Step 1 Draw a bond-line structure of hexane. Draw Your Solution There are four branched isomers of hexane.
