Howell · Answer 1

The answer for this problem is only 3-methylcyclohex-1-ene. When trans - 1 - bromo - 2-methylcyclohexane is exposed to dehydrohalogenation, the formation formed is 3-methyl-1-cyclohexene. The explanation for the changed products of these two reactions can be explained by sketching suitable reaction mechanisms.
