The reaction involves dehydrohalogenation of Ph-CHBr-CH2-CH3 with alcoholic KOH. This is an E2 elimination where the base abstracts a β-hydrogen. The molecule has two β-carbons: one adjacent to the bromine in the ethyl group (CH2-CH3) and the phenyl ring. The major product follows Zaitsev's rule, forming the more substituted alkene. The phenyl group stabilizes the double bond via resonance, making Ph-CH=CH-CH3 the major product.
Final Answer: Ph–CH=CH–CH3
