Abstract
The Hoffman degradation reaction is proposed as an unequivocal proof for the validity of the extraction mechanism in Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) in the presence of solid NaOH. 4-Chlorohutyronitrile is found to yield cyclopropyl cyanide via an extraction route while 4-bromobutyronitrile reacts to form the same product by the prevalent interfacial mechanism.
