b)
Interpretation:
To explain the Hofmann elimination of the given amines.
Concept introduction:
Just like alcohol, amines can be converted into alkenes by an elimination reaction.
But because an amide ion, -NH2 is a poor leaving group, it must be converted into a better leaving group.
c)
Interpretation:
To explain the Hofmann elimination of the given amines.
Concept introduction:
The given amine has two symmetrical groups is CH3CH2CH2 – attached to the carbon C-4- carrying the amine –NH2 group.
d)
Interpretation:
To explain the Hofmann elimination of the given amines.
Concept introduction:
The Hofmann elimination is an E2 elimination that converts an amine to an alkene and occurs with non-Zaitsev regiochemistry to form the less highly substituted double bond alkene as the major product.

Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicableIgnore any inorganic byproducts. 1) NaBH4 2) HCI/H2O Select to Drawarrow_forwardWhy do you think people who live at high altitudes are advised to add salt to water when boiling food like pasta? What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forward
