Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms. This tag should be applied when a saturated or an unsaturated hydrocarbon is the main focus. For aromatic hydrocarbons, use the tag [aromatic-compounds] instead. For halohydrocarbons or other functional derivatives, use [halides] or other relevant tags instead.

Why does this E2 reaction occur on the less substituted carbon?

In compound C it eliminates the beta hydrogen attached to the less substituted carbon, rather than attacking the beta hydrogen attached to the tertiary carbon. Why is this the case?
