Treatment of 1-bromo-2-deuterio-2-phenylethane with strong base leads to a mixture of deuterated and nondeuterated phenylethylenes in an approximately 7: 1 ratio. Explain. (EQUATION CAN'T COPY)
Explain why the reaction of 2-bromopropane with NaOCOCH$_3$ gives (CH$_3$)$_2$CHOCOCH$_3$ exclusively as product, but the reaction of 2-bromopropane with NaOCH$_2$CH$_3$ gives a mixture of (CH$_3$)$_2$CHOCH$_2$CH$_3$ (20%) and CH$_3$CH = CH$_2$ (80%).
