Hofmann Rearrangement: Mechanism, Stereochemistry, and Key Steps
The Hofmann rearrangement is a notable organic chemistry reaction that converts an amide into an amine with one less carbon atom. This process involves key steps such as bromination of nitrogen, extraction of H+ by OH-, and rearrangement of anion. The mechanism includes the formation of N-Bromoamide
