Question
draw the complete mechanism for this double E2 elimination reaction?
- Starting Material: (2R,3S)-2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid
- Final Product: Phenylpropiolic acid
- Steps to Include:
- Deprotonation of the carboxylic acid group: Show how the carboxylic acid (-COOH) group is deprotonated by KOH to form the carboxylate salt (-COO⁻).
- First E2 elimination: Illustrate the elimination of the first HBr molecule, forming the alkene intermediate.
- Second E2 elimination: Show the elimination of the second HBr molecule, forming the alkyne.
- Final protonation: Depict how HCl protonates the carboxylate group (-COO⁻) to regenerate the carboxylic acid (-COOH).
Make sure to use proper arrow notation to show the movement of electrons in each step. Label all intermediates, reagents (KOH and HCl), and byproducts (HBr and KBr). I inldued some notes for how it kinda should look like
