    this sir

    see when the base is bulky and leaving group is poor...the transition state resembles more like carabanionic charcater not carbocationic character

    eduncle-logo-app

    so the concerted mechanism proceeds and hoffman products dominates

    eduncle-logo-app

    see the two images i have send...you got it from there

    yess when base is bulky...hoffman products dominates..

    eduncle-logo-app

    why on nitrogen there is positive cagrge

    eduncle-logo-app

    but the pic u have sent me .there it is written that nr3is bad leaving group

    eduncle-logo-app

    why

    see this you understand how base affects which products dominants....

    my explanation is correct ?

    eduncle-logo-app

    plz tell one thing more that n(ch3)3 is good leaving group or bad

    eduncle-logo-app

    if bad then how in Hoffman elimination it elimanate

    eduncle-logo-app

    although there is carbonation character oncarbon

    eduncle-logo-app

    N+(Ch3)3 is poor leaving group

    eduncle-logo-app

    why

    eduncle-logo-app

    nitrogen is highly electronegative....and you know that electronegative elements can't bear positive charge effectively

    eduncle-logo-app

    it is weak base

    eduncle-logo-app

    you know in the group the electronegativity increases and basicity decreases

    eduncle-logo-app

    and best leaving group are weak bases

    eduncle-logo-app

    see the images i have attached and read the 2nd line

    eduncle-logo-app

    but sir

    eduncle-logo-app

    I m sending u one more pic. plz see that

    eduncle-logo-app

    okk send

    eduncle-logo-app

    I sent the pic

    eduncle-logo-app

    in this post only

    eduncle-logo-app

    this pic u which u have sent me there it is written that nr3 is bad leaving group

    eduncle-logo-app

    yess so hoffman product dominates and see the transition state images which send

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir

    eduncle-logo-app

    initially u are saying than nr3is bad leaving group

    eduncle-logo-app

    there is confusion among book also...in some book it is written bad levaing group and somewhere good

    eduncle-logo-app

    always keep in mind...neutal compound is stable so quaternary ammonium salts leaves to give neutral form

    eduncle-logo-app

    nr3 is bulky leaving group therefore i Hoffmanbproduct dominates.

    eduncle-logo-app

    right

    eduncle-logo-app

    yess see in newman projection you see...to avoid repulsion

    eduncle-logo-app

    hoffmann dominates

    eduncle-logo-app

    okok

    eduncle-logo-app

    and why there is positive charge on nitrogen

    eduncle-logo-app

    when ammonia takes H+ the ammonium salts is formed in which nitrogen carry positive charge
