Question

Please complete this problem for me including showing the mechanism

**Transcription for Educational Website**

---

**Propose a structure for an alkyl halide that generates only (Z)-3-methyl-2-phenylpent-2-ene upon E2 elimination with NaOH. Include:**

- The curved arrows to show the mechanism of the transformation
- The IUPAC name of the proposed starting material (including stereocenters)

---

**Diagram Overview:**

- **Left Box:** Placeholder for the structure of the alkyl halide
- **Right Box:** Placeholder for the structure of (Z)-3-methyl-2-phenylpent-2-ene

---

**Reaction Details:**

- **Reagent:** NaOH is used for the E2 elimination process.
- **Product:** (Z)-3-methyl-2-phenylpent-2-ene

---

**IUPAC Name of Alkyl Halide:**

[Space for input]
