Starting with 3,4-dimethylhexan-2-one, the sequence involves using LDA for deprotonation, followed by alkylation with CH3I, reduction with NaBH4, and finally dehydration with H2SO4 and heat. The goal is to determine the major product of these reactions, which is 3,4-dimethyl-2-methylhex-3-en-2-ol."}
