For parts b and c could you please explain why there is a cis isomer formed and how to know when there will be one. For part e do you have to rearrange the compound to achieve the antiperiplanar orientation? Predict the products formed by sodium hydroxide-promoted dehydrohalogenation of the following compounds. In each case, predict which will be the major product. (b) 2-chlorobutane (c) 3-bromopentane (e) trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane.
