Draw the major product formed when (R)-1-chloro-3-methylpentane is treated with each reagent: (a) ; (b) KCN; (c) DBU.
Explain the selectivity observed in the following reactions.

What alkene is the major product formed from each alkyl halide in an E1 reaction?

a.

b.

c.
What alkenes are formed from each alkyl halide by an E1 reaction? Use the Zaitsev rule to predict the major product.

a.

b.
Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of but-1-ene and but-2-ene. With sodium ethoxide as base, but-2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the alkene products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
