Explain the stereochemistry of the products from `E2` dehalogenation with `I^(Θ)` of the following.
`a.` `(i)` Meso `-2-3-`dibromobutane and `(ii)` `S,S-2,3-` dibromo`-` butane.
`b.` `E2-` dehydrobromination of `(i)` `R,R-2,3-` dibromobutane and `(ii)` meso`-(R,S)-2,3-` debromobutane
`c.` From which conformation of bromocyclohexane in the `E2` dehydrobromination is best achieved.

AI Generated Solution

To explain the stereochemistry of the products from E2 dehalogenation with iodide ions of the given compounds, we will analyze each part step by step. ### Part a: **(i) Meso-2,3-dibromobutane** 1. **Identify the Structure**: Meso-2,3-dibromobutane has two bromine atoms on adjacent carbon atoms (C-2 and C-3) and is symmetrical. The structure can be represented as: ``` CH3-CH(Br)-CH(Br)-CH3 ...
