![### Organic Chemistry Question
**Question 46**: What is the *major* product for the following reaction?
#### Given Reaction:
\[ \begin{align*}
\ce{ } & \ce{ } \\
\ce{\ } & \ce{|\Cl} \\
\ce{/} & \ce{\/ \ \ } & \ce{t-BuOH, t-BuOK} \\
\ce{\ } & \ce{ }
\end{align*} \]
#### Possible Products:
A)
\[ \ce{\ } & \ce{ } \\
\ce{\ / \ } |\ & \ce{Ot-Bu \ \ }
\]
B)
\[ \ce{ } \\
\\ \\ \ce{/ \ \ \ \ /} \\ \\ \\ \ce{\ced /} \\\ce{
\\}
]
C)
\[ \ce{ } \\ \\ \ce{ \ / \ } \\ \\ \ce{ / \ \ \ \ /} \\ \\
\]
D)
\[ \ce{\ } \\ \\ \ce{ /} \\ \\ \ce{/ \ \ \ \ /}
\]
E)
\[ \ce{\ /} \\ \\ \ce{/ \} \\ \\
\]
Options:
- D
- C
- B
- A
- E
### Explanation of Graphs and Diagrams:
The problem depicts a chemical reaction where a molecule containing a chlorine (Cl) substituent reacts with a base composed of t-BuOH (tert-Butanol) and t-BuOK (potassium tert-butoxide).
The goal is to determine the major product from the given reaction. The choices (A, B, C, D, E) depict different possible structures of organic compounds resulting from this reaction.
This type of problem is common in organic chemistry to test knowledge about reaction mechanisms, particularly in elimination reactions involving strong bases like t-BuOK which is known to favor the formation of more substituted alkenes.
The correct answer to the question is marked as Option E.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbb055132-6643-4863-94d3-885987d27e32%2Ffc634238-98fc-4e5e-bf8b-2b7643b618df%2F3u2pkn_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
