Question: 1-Chloro-1,2-diphenylethane can undergo E2 elimination to give either cis- or trans-1,2-diphenylethylene (stilbene). Draw Newman projections of the reactive conformations leading to both possible products, and suggest a reason why the trans alkene is the major product.

Amines are converted into alkenes by a two-step process called Hofmann elimination. SN2 reaction of the amine with an excess of in the first step yields an intermediate that undergoes E2reaction when treated with silver oxide as base. Pentylamine, for example, yields 1-pentene. Propose a structure for the intermediate, and explain why it readily undergoes elimination.
Predict the product(s) for each elimination reaction below. In each caseshow the mechanism. What do the mechanisms have in common? Why?
