    Hofmann products

  4. A-CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2,

    B-CH3CH2CH=CHCH3,
    Saytzeff products

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.
