Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The increasing rate of elimination and products of the given compounds on reaction with $\text{NaOEt}$ in $\text{EtOH}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Vinyl halides undergo elimination reaction in the presence of a base to form alkynes. The elimination is known as base promoted elimination reaction. The mechanism of the reaction followed depends on the base used. It leads to the formation of two products and . It also depends on a more stable leaving group.
