Question
Predict the major and minor products.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a chemical reaction involving a brominated cyclopentane compound. The chemical structure shows a five-membered carbon ring (cyclopentane) with a bromine (Br) atom attached to one of the carbon atoms, indicating an alkyl bromide.
Above the reaction arrow, "TBuOK" is written, which represents the reagent tert-butoxide, a strong base. Below the arrow, "TBuOH" is noted, indicating tert-butanol as the solvent or by-product.
This setup suggests an elimination reaction, possibly an E2 mechanism, where the base (TBuOK) abstracts a proton from the carbon atom adjacent to the one bearing the bromine atom. This results in the formation of a double bond and the elimination of HBr, producing an alkene.
