The alkene formed as a major product in the above elimination reaction is- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
The question refers to "the above elimination reaction", but the actual reaction scheme and the structures of options A, B, C, D are missing from the prompt.
Without the substrate, reagent/conditions, and option structures, the major alkene product cannot be determined from chemistry principles alone.
What is needed to solve
To identify the major alkene in an elimination reaction, we must know:
- The starting compound
- The eliminating reagent/base
- Reaction conditions
- The structures of options A, B, C, D
These are essential because the answer depends on factors like:
- Saytzeff vs Hofmann elimination
- E1 vs E2 mechanism
- Stereochemical requirement (anti-periplanar geometry in E2)
- Rearrangement possibility in E1
- Substituted alkene stability
Conclusion
Since the reaction and options are not visible, the problem is incomplete and cannot be solved reliably.
The stored answer is given as B, but there is no way to verify it from the provided information alone.
