Consider the E2 elimination of 3‑bromopentane with hydroxide. The starting material consists of a chiral carbon with an in plane bond to bromine pointing to the upper left, an in plane bond to ethyl pointing to the right, a wedged bond to ethyl pointing to the lower left and a dashed bond to hydrogen pointing to the lower left. This reacts with hydroxide to form the product, water and bromide ion. Complete the curved arrow electron-pushing. Use three curved arrows to show the conversion to the product. Draw the organic product
