1. Consider the compound shown below. Draw the (S,S) stereoisomer. On treatment with Na* Eto- in a polar aprotic solvent, a single alkene product is formed. Draw that product and show a complete mechanism for its formation, using curved arrows. Be sure to explicitly denote stereochemistry in both the product and the mechanism. [Ph = phenyl group] H3CO Ph H3C Br
