Talk:Hofmann rearrangement

Hofmann degradation redirrect to this page. But i thought that it was hofmann elimination which was the same as Hofmann degradation. Does anyone know if its both the rearrangement and the elimination which is reffered to as the degradation? ChristianB 22:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Mechanism?
Does anyone know the full mechanism for this reaction? The equation included doesn't make it particularly clear what is going on. Nacnud89 (talk) 10:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I found this: http://alpha.chem.umb.edu/chemistry/orgchem/CH20Handout.pdf

which says nothing about hypobromite... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pelirojopajaro (talk • contribs) 02:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Reaction formulas
Including the carboxyl carbon (drawing it with a C) in the left hand side of the formulas would make them easier to apprehend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.227.15.253 (talk) 08:44, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Page Title
It's called Hoffmann with a 'ff' in the scientific community; because of you scientists and serious researchers don't support even cited Wikipedia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.200.118.31 (talk) 12:27, 6 June 2015 (UTC)


 * No, it is really Hofmann, I have added two additional citations in favour of Hofmann. The inventor is also called Hofmann, that should be a clue. V8rik (talk) 13:17, 7 June 2015 (UTC)


 * We use Hoffmann, not Hofmann; in this case. In the voltameter, we use Hoffmann too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.200.127.33 (talk) 06:33, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

The article itself mentions that the discoverer of the reaction was August Wilhelm von Hofmann. I'm not sure why this is a big deal. It doesn't change the science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.65.245.229 (talk) 16:26, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Pinacol-Pinaclone Rearrangement

 * We have an article about the pinacol rearrangement. But how is that relevant here? DMacks (talk) 16:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
