Question
The alkene formed as a major product in the above
elimination reaction is
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer :
Solution :
Hofmann's rule : When theoretically more than one type of alkenes are possible in eliminations reaction, the alkene containing least alkylated double bond is formed as major product. Hence
NOTE: It is less stearically $$\beta - $$ hydrogen is removed
