Textbook Question
Chapter FRP, Problem 24P
Dehydrohalogenation of meso-1, 2-dibromo-1, 2-diphenylethane by the action of sodium ethoxide in ethanol yields (E)-1-bromo-1-2-diphenylechene. Similar dehydrohalogenation of either enantiomer of 1, 2-dibromo-1, 2-diphenylechane yields (Z)-1-bromo-1, 2-diphenylethene. Provide an explanation for the results.
