Answer 2

Elimination reaction using Zaitsev's rule

Explanation:

• The image is attached in which the reaction is shown and explanation for the same follows below.

• Hydrocarbon chains with at least one double bond are referred to as alkenes.
• Chemists use a chemical reaction in which the substituents leave the hydrocarbon chain and a double bond is formed between the carbon atoms. Such a reaction is called an elimination reaction.
• When considered thermodynamically, more highly substituted alkenes are likely  to be more stable compared to their less substituted counterparts.
• In the 19th century, this process was observed first by a Russian scientist, Alexander Zaitsev. Now, it is known as Zaitsev's rule, which states that in an elimination reaction for alkyl hydrocarbons, there are more chances that the more highly substituted alkene is the product .
• Thus stability of substituted alkenes follows the rule where tetra substituted alkenes are more stable than tri-substituted, which further are more stable than di-substituted, and mono-substituted alkenes.
