Transcribed Image Text:**Question:** See Figure 9-6. The products of the E2 reaction of Compound P are **Answer Choices:** - ○ A and B - ○ A and C - ○ A and D - ○ B and C - ○ B and D - ○ C and D There are no graphs or diagrams provided in this image.
**Figure 9-6**

This image displays a chemical reaction involving a brominated alkane and potassium tert-butoxide (\( \text{K}^+-\text{OC(CH}_3\text{)}_3 \)). The structural formula of the brominated alkane shows a carbon chain with bromine (\( \text{Br} \)) attached, and several hydrogen (\( \text{H} \)) and deuterium (\( \text{D} \)) atoms indicated.

The reaction arrow points from the brominated alkane reactant to four possible alkene products, labeled A, B, C, and D.

**Reaction Diagram:**

1. **Top Structure:** The starting material is a brominated alkane with the bromine attached to a chiral center. The three groups attached to this carbon are deuterium, hydrogen, and a propyl group. 

2. **Reaction Conditions:** 
   - Reagent: Potassium tert-butoxide (\( \text{K}^+-\text{OC(CH}_3\text{)}_3 \))
   - Indicates an elimination reaction.

**Possible Products:**

- **Product A:** A terminal alkene with deuterium atoms at one end of the double bond and a hydrogen atom at the other.
- **Product B:** An internal alkene where hydrogen atoms are bonded to one carbon of the double bond and deuterium atoms to the other.
- **Product C:** An internal alkene with one deuterium and one hydrogen on each carbon atom of the double bond, but in a different configuration compared to B.
- **Product D:** An internal alkene similar to C, but with deuterium and hydrogen atoms swapped on the carbons involved in the double bond.

This reaction sequence illustrates the stereochemistry and regioselectivity that might arise from such a reaction, exploring the different structural isomers obtained as elimination products.
