Explain using mechanistic arguments involving Newman projections or other
Chapter 7, Problem 2(choose chapter or problem)
Explain using mechanistic arguments involving Newman projections or other three-dimensional formulas why the reaction of 2-bromo-1,2-diphenylpropane (either enantiomer) with sodium ethoxide (EtONa) in ethanol (EtOH) at 80 8C produces mainly (E)-1,2-diphenylpropene [little of the (Z) diastereomer is formed].
