Q. When $\left\lbrack \begin{array}{r} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3} \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | \\ {CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2} - \ }^{+}N - CH_{2}CH_{3} \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3} \end{array} \right\rbrack OH^{-}$ Is heated, then
A) Propene is the major product
B) Ethane and $C_{3}H_{7}N\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}$ are the only product
C) Ethane and propene are obtained while ethane as the major product
D) Equimolar amounts of ethane and propene are obtained
Explanation
(c)
In Hofmann elimination reaction, less substitudes alkene is the main product
