AIEEEAIEEE 2006Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Solution:
Trnas-2-phenyl-1-Bromo cyclo pentane
Structure is as follows :
halo alloane treatment with dlcoholic $KOH$ results in
$E _{2}$ anti-elimination mechanism
Anti elimination means $H$ and $Br$ both departing groups must be present at dihedral angle $180^{\circ}$ (anti).
