How can you explain the fact that trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane yields the non-Zaitsev elimination product 3 -methylcyclohexene on treatment with base? trans-1-Bromo-2-methylcyclohexane $\quad$ 3-Methylcyclohexene
Explain why the following deuterated 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane undergoes dehydrohalogenation by he E2 mechanism to give only the indicated product.

Explain why the reaction of 2-bromopropane with NaOCOCH$_3$ gives (CH$_3$)$_2$CHOCOCH$_3$ exclusively as product, but the reaction of 2-bromopropane with NaOCH$_2$CH$_3$ gives a mixture of (CH$_3$)$_2$CHOCH$_2$CH$_3$ (20%) and CH$_3$CH = CH$_2$ (80%).
