QUESTION 1: Below is a reaction of compound A with a strong non-bulky base for form either a pure single elimination product from the three structures to consider, or a mixture of 2 or 3 of the three structures to consider. Answer both parts
(a) Suggest the molar percentages of each compound and set your answer up as shown with three bullet points below. The total sum of the three structures should be \( 100 \% \). Diagrams can be used to help explain each case.
- Product B: \{State 0-100\%\}. Offer 10-15 words max for explanation
- Product C: \{State \( 0-100 \% \). Offer \( 10-15 \) words max for explanation
- Product D: \{State \( 0-100 \% \) \}. Offer \( 10-15 \) words max for explanation
(b) State the mechanism type (E1 or E2) and draw the mechanism for the reaction to form one of the compounds B/C/D. Use \( X \) - to represent the base).
Compound \( \mathrm{A} \)
Newman projection of compound \( \mathrm{A} \)
