ANSWER:Solution 20P
(a)
Treatment of 2-hexanamine with excess methyl iodide forms a quaternary ammonium salt. Now, the silver oxide, replaces the iodide anion with a strong base. Next the ammonium salt is heated (-OH removes a proton from the
carbon atom) and forms a new
bond of the alkene. Thus, the possibility of the formation the alkenes is shown in the reaction and major alkene is represented with the less substituted double bond.
(b)
Treatment of 2-methylpiperidine with excess methyl iodide forms a quaternary ammonium salt. Now, the silver oxide, replaces the iodide anion with a strong base. Next the ammonium salt is heated (-OH removes a proton from the
carbon atom) and forms a new
bond of the alkene. Thus, the possibility of the formation the alkenes is shown in the reaction and major alkene is represented with the less substituted double bond.
