de-hydrobromination of 2 -bromopentane will not give pent-1-ene as major product because elemination of 2 -bromopentane follow Saytzeff's rule and give pent-2-ene as major product. Some pent-1-ene also form according to Hofmann rule: <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/996332bc509c82095ca9dcf70cb34e4c-.png" />
