FTP, this is what chemical reaction resulting in an alkene and a tertiary amine, a process also known as exhaustive methylation and named for a German chemist?
The loss of the beta-hydrogen in its mechanism occurs from the least-hindered substituent; thus it follows the rule of its namesake, which also holds for ester pyrolysis. It initially involves the use of methyl iodide and silver oxide to convert the starting material into a quaternary ammonium salt; an E2 elimination then occurs in the prescence of heat and water to give the final products.

Hofmann elimination (prompt on "exhaustive methylation" before it's mentioned)
