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).
- Deprotonation of the
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
