Type of elimination reaction in which least substituted alkene is major product known as Hofmann's elimination. Such reaction occur in following conditions : (X) when base is bulky (Y) when leaving group is very poor such as fluoride, ammonium group `(-overset(oplus)NR_(3))` etc.  (Z) when alkyl halide contain one or more double bonds. What is the major product of the following reaction?  `H_(3)C-underset(Br)underset(|)CH-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)CH-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C-CH_(3)overset(Me_(3)CO^(Θ)K^(oplus))rarr`
