Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Rotating meso–2,3–dibromobutane into a conformation where the bromine atoms are anti and coplanar we find the product will be trans–2–butene.

A similar conformation of either enantiomers of the (pm) diastereomer shows that the product will be cis – 2 – butene.
