Answer» SOLUTION :This is by ` E2` eleimination `[CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(.^(o+N))-CH_(3)]overset(Theta)OH overset(Delta)rarr CH_(3)OH+Me-overset(Me)overset(|)(N)-Me` If one or more groups other than ` CH_3` are present , then alkene will be formed (less substiuted , Hofmann rule ) INSTEAD of ` CH_3OH`. |
