Question

Predict the product of the following reaction:

The image depicts a chemical reaction. The starting material is a compound featuring a central carbon atom bonded to four groups: - A phenyl group (Ph) on a wedge, indicating it is coming out of the plane towards the observer. - A methyl group (CH₃) on a dashed line, indicating it is going into the plane away from the observer. - A bromine atom (Br) on a solid line, lying on the plane. - Another phenyl group (Ph) on a dashed line, along with a hydrogen atom, indicating stereochemistry. The reaction involves the treatment of this compound with diisopropylamine, denoted as (i-Pr)₂NH. This suggests a possible substitution or elimination reaction might occur, given the presence of bromine, a good leaving group. The mechanism and product will depend on reaction conditions such as temperature and solvent.
