The synthesis of diphenylacetylene from mesostilbene dibromide includes next reactions:

Bromination of stilbene-it is the reaction of electrophilic adition and bromonium ion is formed as intermedier (meso compound is the product).

Bimolecular elimination-strong base is used in this reaction (takes away the H) and pi bond is formed.
