Identify the correct statement for the below given transformation.
Options
- AA - CH 3 CH 2 CH = CH - CH 3 , B - CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH = CH 2 , Saytzeff products
- BA - CH 3 CH 2 CH = CH - CH 3 , B - CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH = CH 2 , Hafmann products
- CA - CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH = CH 2 , B - CH 3 CH 2 CH = CHCH 3 , Hofmann products
- DA - CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH = CH 2 , B - CH 3 CH 2 CH = CHCH 3 , Saytzeff products
Correct answer
C. A - CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH = CH 2 , B - CH 3 CH 2 CH = CHCH 3 , Hofmann products
Step-by-step solution
The Hofmann rule states that the major alkene product is the least substituted and least stable product when it comes to asymmetrical amines. So, major product will be pent-1-ene and minor product will be pent-2-ene.
