The E1 elimination of 1-Bromo-1methylcyclohexnae is a two-step reaction. In the first step, the bromine atom takes its bonding electron pair and forms a tertiary carbocation. In the next step, the base abstracts the beta-hydrogen atom and forms a 1-methyl-cyclohexene as a product. The reaction is as shown below: 59. 2-bromopentane is heated with potassium ethoxide in ethanol. The major product obtained is (a) Pent-1-ene (b) cis pent-2-ene (c) trans pent-2-ene (d) 2-ethoxypentane This is an 2 E elimination, where trans-alkene is more favoured in which the same groups are on the oppos
