Synthesis of Diphenylacetylene This synthesis requires two reactions. The first results in the debromination of trans-stilbene. In the first reaction, glacial acetic acid will be used as the solvent. What is glacial acetic acid? Why are we using pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide instead of bromine in this experiment? What is the name of this reaction and what intermediate is formed?

In each elimination the starting material will lose HBr. What is the name of this type of reaction? Assuming you began this reaction with 1.035 g of trans-stilbene, and your final weight of diphenylacetylene is 0.377g, what is your percent yield?
