Chapter 8, Problem 33P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: All constitutional isomers formed in the given $\text{E2}$ reaction are to be drawn and the major product by the use of Zaitsev rule is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The removal of halide and neighboring $\text{β}$ hydrogen atom in the presence of strong base leads to the formation of alkene. The mechanism followed by the reaction is $\text{E2}$. According to Zaitsev rule, more substituted alkene is obtained as a major product in $\text{E2}$ elimination reaction.
