### Title: Formation of the Zaitsev Product from 2,3-dimethylpentan-3-ol

#### Objective:
To understand the process of forming the Zaitsev product when 2,3-dimethylpentan-3-ol undergoes an E1 dehydration reaction.

#### Reaction Details:
- **Reactant:** 2,3-dimethylpentan-3-ol
- **Reagent:** H₃PO₄ (phosphoric acid)
- **Condition:** E1 (Unimolecular Elimination) dehydration

#### Explanation:
The image displays a molecular structure for 2,3-dimethylpentan-3-ol. The structure shows:
- A six-membered carbon chain with a hydroxyl group (OH) attached to the third carbon.
- Two methyl groups are attached to the second and third carbons.

An arrow indicates the reaction proceeds in the presence of H₃PO₄, leading to the formation of a double bond, resulting in water (H₂O) as a byproduct.

#### Process:
1. **Protonation:** The hydroxyl group gets protonated by phosphoric acid.
2. **Formation of Carbocation:** Loss of water forms a carbocation at the tertiary carbon.
3. **Deprotonation:** The most substituted (stable) alkene forms, following Zaitsev's rule, where the hydrogen is removed from the adjacent carbon, resulting in a double bond.

#### Diagram Interface:
- **Tools:**
  - Drawing tools for single and double bonds
  - Element selection for carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)
  - Features to undo/redo actions and zoom in/out

This interactive interface allows students to practice drawing the molecular structure and visualize the product of the reaction, reinforcing their understanding of E1 dehydration and Zaitsev's rule.
