Zaitsev's rule: concerns major products
|
The major product will have an internal double bond with the most substituted pattern. (This is used in elimination)
|
|
Question: what will increase the rate of reactions in E2 reactions in terms of the base used?
|
The stronger the base, the faster the reaction will occur.
|
|
Constitutional Isomer
|
These differ in the order in which the atoms are connected together so that they contain different functional groups and/or bonding patterns or branching.
|
|
Stereoisomers
|
These contain the same functional groups and branching patterns but differ in their arrangement in space (think stereochemistry).
|
|
Q: What will increase the rate of reactions in E2 mechanisms in terms of R groups found around halogen?
|
When the number of R groups surrounding a halogen increases (i.e. it goes from a primary to secondary or tertiary carbon) the rate of the reaction increases.
