I Review I Constants I Periodic Table
When 2,2-dibromo-1-phenylpropane is heated overnight with
sodium amide at 150 °C, the major product (after addition of
water) is a different foul-smelling compound of formula
C9 H8.
Part B
Give a mechanism to account for its formation.
Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds.
Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom,
bond, or location where a new bond should be created.
