MCQ
For the reaction, the major product is formed by:
  • A
    An $E_1$ reaction
  • An $E_2$ reaction
  • C
    $S_{N_1}$ reaction
  • D
    $S_{N_2}$ reaction

Answer

Correct option: B.
An $E_2$ reaction
Since$, \ce{CH_3​CH_2​O}$ is a moderate base, so there is no possibility of $E_1$ reaction and in $\ce{E_1CB}$, there takes place the carbanion formation. Hex, there is no anion stabilising group, so $\ce{E_1CB}$ is not possible.
$E.$ mechanism is possible because of presence of $H -$atom anti to the leaving group $(Br).$
