points lemist allows some pure (2S, 3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (Cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S, 35)-3-bromo-2,3- diphenylpentane gives two alkenes. A (Cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B and C) give 2,3- iphenylpentane.
