The major product of this elimination reaction is an alkene. The reaction is an E2  bimolecular elimination  reaction, where the KOH acts as a strong base to abstract a proton from the CH3CH2CH2Br, leading to the formation of a double bond and the elimination of the bromide ion. The major product is:CH2=CHCH3  propene
