In that elimination, silver oxide is added to a quaternary amine, forming alkene and amine products.
This chemist is the alphabeticallyÂ­first namesake of a rearrangement which converts NÂ­alkylated anilineÂ­derivatives to their corresponding orthoÂ­ and paraÂ­alkylated anilines. That rearrangement, similar to the Fries ("freeze") rearrangement, is named for this man and Martius. An intramolecular reduction reaction of ammonium salts named for Emde follows a mechanism similar to an elimination reaction discovered by this man. In that elimination, silver oxide is added to a quaternary amine, forming alkene and amine products. His most famous rearrangement involves the addition of bromine of primary amides to produce isocyanates, which subsequently form primary amines upon hydrolysis. For 10 points, name this (*) German chemist who shares his name with a 20thÂ­century theoretical chemist who developed rules predicting the rates and products of pericyclic reactions along with Woodward.
