## E2-Elimination Reaction Tutorial### Objective:To determine the products and their relative stabilities in a base-catalyzed E2-elimination reaction.### Reaction Details:- **Starting Material**: - 1-bromo-2-methylbutane (shown as a structural formula with a bromine substituent on the second carbon of a butane chain). - **Reagent**: - Sodium methoxide (NaOMe).### Task:1. **Draw the products**: - Based on the E2-elimination mechanism, identify the potential alkene products formed after the elimination of HBr.2. **Determine relative stabilities**: - Analyze the stability of each alkene formed using concepts such as Zaitsev's rule, which favors the formation of the more substituted (and thus more stable) alkene.### Graph/Diagram Explanation:- There are three empty boxes meant for structures of possible alkene products. These products could include different positions of double bonds due to the removal of hydrogen atoms.- The task requires filling in these boxes with the correct structural formulas of the alkenes.### Key Concepts:- **E2 Mechanism**: A bimolecular elimination reaction where a hydrogen atom and a leaving group (Br in this case) are removed, forming a double bond.- **Zaitsev's Rule**: Predicts that the most substituted alkene (the one with the higher number of alkyl groups attached to the double-bonded carbons) is generally the major product, as it tends to be more stable.Use this information to craft detailed molecular structures and assess their stabilities based on the E2 elimination mechanism and substituent effects.

The reaction given are, Please find below the reaction mechanism along with the possible products. Among the alkenes formed, we can see that the number of alpha H in alkene 2 and 3 are 5 while in alkene 1 is only 2. Hence the alkene 1 is the least stable as its have the least alpha H. And since the alkene 2 is trans while 3 is cis. Hence the stability of alkene 2 is more than the of alkene 3. Therefore the relative stabilities of the alkenes are: alkene 2 > alkene 3 > alkene 1.
