Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the compound A or B undergo the more rapid reaction with ${\text{K}}^{+}{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\text{C}-{\text{O}}^{-}$ is to be stated with explanation. The product of the corresponding reaction is to be stated.

An elimination reaction is a type of reaction in which two atoms are eliminated in the presence of solvent. Elimination reactions usually favors in the alcoholic conditions. The β-elimination follows $\text{E2}$ mechanism in which both halogen atom and hydrogen atom are in either anti-periplanar direction or syn-periplanar direction.
