Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Major product formed when given alkyl halides undergoes E2 reaction has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton and the halide ion are removed in the same step.  A strong base favours an E2 reaction.  A high concentration of a base favours an E2 reaction.  If one of the reactants is charged, an E2 reaction will be favoured by the least polar solvent that will dissolve the reactant.  If neither of the reactant is charged an E2 reaction is favoured by the protic polar solvent.  The major product is a stable alkene, unless the reactants are sterically hindered.

Explanation of Solution

The product when given compound undergo E2 addition,

For an E2 reaction major product is the more stable alkene.  The reactant is a secondary alkyl halide, undergo E2 reactions.
