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.
Which of the two isomers would you expect to undergo E2 elimination faster? trans-1-bromo- 4-tert-butylcyclohexane or cis-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane? Draw each molecule in its more stable chair conformation. Provide an explanation to your answer.
