Question

structures are fragments of major product of dehydration reaction of 2-methylbutan-2-ol.  need to know why some of them have base peaks of 97. B and D have base peaks of 97.1, and A and C have peaks of 57.1

Based on the structures of Compounds A-D, explain why some of these species have very
intense m/z=97 peaks and others do not (you will need to draw structures).
Consider compounds A -D. Which of these compounds could be considered Zaitsev products,
and which are Hofmann products?
Is the observed product distribution consistent with Zaitsev's rule?
