N2  - Transition state structures for debromination reactions of a series of para-substituted stilbene  dibromides were evaluated from kinetic and product distribution data for the nucleophiles chloride, cyanide, iodide and 4-nitrothiophenoxide in dimethylformamide . The debrominations appear to utilize transition states in which nucleophilic attack is at bromine despite the strong carbon- nucleophilicity of some of the bases. Products are largely those derived from anti- debromination with all nucleophiles and reactivity is in the order 4-nitrothiophenoxide > cyanide > iodide > chloride.
