An alkyl halide of formula C6H13Br on treatment with potassium t-butoxide gives two isomerism alkenes (C6H12). Both alkenes on hydrogenation give 2,3-dimethyl butane.

It is an elimination reaction (E2).
(E2) elimination is concerted one- step reaction.
It is β- dehydrogenation reaction.
The two isomeric alkenes formed are
an elimination reaction (E2)
