Under certain reaction conditions, 2,3-dibromobutane reacts with two equivalents of base to give three products, each of which contains two new bonds. Product A has two sp hybridized carbon atoms, product B has one sphybridized carbon atom, and product C has none. What are the structures of A, B, and C?
