I would say that’s an E2.

I wrote that E1 is the major product, forming 2-butene, and trans is favored; SN1 is the minor product with both inversion and retention configurations of 2-butanol. My recitation instructor said that SN1 is the major product! How?!?! I’m going nuts! I will have to confirm this with my professor bec the instructor is a PhD student and it’s possible he made a mistake?
Plz tell me E1, trans is major and SN1 is minor.
