Expert Solution

Step 1

The given reaction proceeds through the E2 elimination pathway.

Because the nature of substrate is 2° halide which is further treated with the strong organic base Sodium methoxide to form the alkene as the major product.

This reaction is not proceed through the E1 pathway is because it requires the 3° halide with the weaker base under mild heating condition to yield the alkene as the major product.

This reaction is also not possible through the SN1 reaction. Because it required the 3° halide with the weak base such as water or pyridine.
