Justify your response for your choice of major product using Newman projections and drawing(s) of the relevant transition state(s). Your justification should include rationales for how BOTH products could arise (not just one), and why one is favored.

Question
16, cont'd) (b) of the cis- and trans- alkene products, predict the major product of the reaction.
Indicate whether your predicted major product is the Zaitsev product or non-Zaitsev/Hofmann
product. Justify your response for your choice of major product using Newman projections and
drawing(s) of the relevant transition state(s). Your justification should include rationales for how
BOTH products could arise (not just one), and why one is favored. To facilitate your answer to
the part (c), you may label your transition states and products with letter abbreviations here (e.g.
A, B, C, etc.).
