Question

Draw the TWO alkene products of the following E2 reaction.

The image depicts a chemical reaction scheme. On the left side, there is a molecule with a bromine (Br) atom, a methyl group (CH₃), and three phenyl (Ph) groups arranged around a central cyclohexane ring. 

The reaction conditions involve:
- A nucleophile, the amide ion (NH₂⁻).
- Solvent: Ammonia (NH₃).

The reaction is represented with an arrow pointing towards two empty rectangles on the right, indicating the products of the reaction.

This setup implies a nucleophilic substitution or elimination process. The exact products are not shown in the image, but they typically would be drawn in the empty rectangles.
