Interpretation:
The alkene compound produced by the given reaction is needed to be drawn and whether the mechanism for this reaction is concerted or stepwise should be explained.
Concept introduction:
E1 reaction is a unimolecular elimination reaction to produce alkene compounds in which carbocation is formed as an intermediate and it has stepwise mechanism.
E2 reaction is a concerted bimolecular elimination reaction in which alkene compound is formed in a single step.
Example,
Curved arrows are used for drawing the mechanism of reaction.
To draw: the product of the given elimination reaction.
