What reaction(s) is/are competition with these elimination reactions? What would be produced in this case?
(reaction is an elimination reaction from 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid to 2-bromostyrene)
(using acetone, potassium carbonate, and dichloromethane)
Reaction of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid with k2co3 proceeds with E2 elimination forming exclusively cis bromo styrene in presence of polar aprotic solvent such as acetone and dichloromethane

However changing the solvent from polar aprotic to polar aprotic solvent the reaction proceeds via E1 reaction. The polar aprotic solvents stabilizes the carbocation formed in the first step and leads to the formation of trans cinamic acid .

Can you explain the mechanism for the elimination reaction with 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid + aqueous NaCo3/H2O to yield beta-bromostyrene.
Provide the elimination mechanism (with arrows) of the formation of cis-2'-bromostyrene from 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid in the presence of K2CO3 and the solvent acetone. Also provide the mechanism of KMNO4 on a TLC (thin later chromatography) plate and why colour change occurs
Can you explain how the J values on HNMR support an E or Z configuration as it relates to the reaction of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid with acetone as the solvent, then with water as the solvent, to yield Beta-Bromostyrene. J values for Acetone give a ratio of 1:2 98%-cis 2%-trans. For Water it's 1:4 20%-cis, 80%-trans. Thank you.
