Question

Based on the more stable conformation (conformation A), need help providing two mechanisms for the E2 elimination of the protonated version of cis-1 using a general base (B:) to give alkenes 2 and 3.

  • Clearly show which hydrogens meet the stereochemical requirements for E2-elimination
  • Using Zaitsev’s rule, indicate which is favoured.

Pictured is also a reaction mechanism to show what the alkenes 2 and 3 are. Thank you :)
