Major products A and B formed in the following reaction sequence , are
1. In the first step, $PBr_3$ replaces $-OH$ with $-Br$: $CH_3C(OH)CH_2CH_3 \rightarrow CH_3CH(Br)CH_2CH_3$ (A).
2. In the second step, alcoholic $KOH$ causes elimination of $HBr$: $CH_3CH(Br)CH_2CH_3 \rightarrow CH_3CH=CH_2$ (B).
