Quarternary ammonium hailde  in presence of moist Ag2O -------------> quuraternary ammonium hydroxide which on heating  undergoes elimination to give an alkene along with water


Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

generally the elimination follows saytzeff rule [the more substituted an alkene, the easier it is formed]  however if the attacking base is tertiary and has bulky groups present on it, to minimize stric hindrance , the less substituted alkene will be formed. [think about the mechanism and you will understand why] this is your hoffmann elimination.

when an amine is heated ch3I (in excess) and then followed by
Ag2O and water in peresence of heat we get quartenery ammonium salt which on further rex'n gives alkene by anti mark rule
