Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the type of reaction

This is a Zaitsev elimination reaction. Zaitsev's rule states that the major product of an elimination reaction is the more substituted alkene.

Step 2: Identify the beta-hydrogens

The beta-hydrogens are the hydrogens on the carbons adjacent to the carbon bearing the leaving group (chlorine). In this molecule, there are two different types of beta-hydrogens. One set is on the carbon with two methyl groups attached, and the other set is on the carbon with one ethyl group attached.

Step 3: Determine the major product

Elimination of the chlorine and a beta-hydrogen will lead to the formation of a double bond. Following Zaitsev's rule, the more substituted alkene will be the major product. This means the double bond will form between the carbons that already have the most alkyl groups attached. This corresponds to the middle alkene product option.

Final Answer: The middle alkene is the major product.
