Explore the implications of orbital overlap in an E2 reaction. - Using curved arrow notation, draw the E2 mechanism of 1R,2R-1-bromo-1,2diphenylpropane with sodium methoxide. 2,3-diphenyl-(Z)-but-2-ene - Draw this starting material in a Newman projection as it is shown in the picture above. - Rotate the back atom and re-draw the Newman projection so that the C-LG bond and the CH bond are anti-coplanar. - Predict the stereochemistry of the product of this reaction. - Predict the stereochemistry of the product of an E2 elimination when you start with this stereoisomer:
