(a) Tsomane and Nyiko were given a task of synthesising methylenecyclohexane 2. After a brief discussion with each other, Tsomane proposed Method A to synthesise 2 from cyclohexanone 1 while Nyiko proposed Method B that started from hydroxymethylcyclohexane 3. Each student believed that their proposed method is better than the other. (Scheme below) (iii) 1 Ph THF A Ph Ph B H₂SO4 100 °C 3 OH In analysing both these methods, are there other possible alkene products other than methylenecyclohexane 2? Use mechanistic details to support your answer.
