QUESTION:
Show that the (S,S) enantiomer of this (R,R) diastereomer of 1-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane also undergoes E2 elimination to give the cis diastereomer of the product. (We do not expect these achiral reagents to distinguish between enantiomers.)

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
During the treatment of the (R,R) and (S,S) diastereomers of 1-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane with sodium ethoxide in ethanol both gives cis diastereomer of 1,2-diphenylpropene.
