The reaction is reversible and l-bromo-l-phenylethane is detected at 145°C. From this evidence, it is postulated that the elimination follows a reverse transfer mechanism. Further, the chapter discusses cleavage reactions in which esters are hydrolyzed under basic conditions in the presence of ...
In the elimination reaction, a base deprotonates a carbon atom and eliminates a group from the adjacent carbon atom to produce a C=C bond. Three different types of elimination reactions are possible depending upon the mechanism, i.e., unimolecular elimination, bimolecular elimination, and unimole...

The bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane was found to be more reactive than the bis(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane and the latter more reactive than the bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane. Kinetic data relative to 1,1,1-trihalo(chloro or bromo)-2,2-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanes show that the...
