ANSWER:

Solution 53P

Step 1 of 4

(a)

The provided reactants are (2S, 3S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane and high concentration of methoxide ion. In this reaction the nucleophile is a strong nucleophile so reaction takes place through  reaction mechanism.

The alkyl halide (2S, 3S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane undergoes  reaction with methoxideion to form (E)-3-methylpent-2-ene.

The reaction is as follows:
