When hydroxide is used as the base to carry out an E2 reaction on a vinylic halide, the reaction usually needs to be heated significantly. As shown below, such a reaction involving the E isomer typically requires much higher temperatures. Why is this so? Z isomer E isomer Br КОН КОН 70 °C 200-230 °C Br Br 70% 67%
