Answer:
Explanation: Zaitsev’s or Saytzev’s (anglicized spelling) rule is an empirical rule used to predict regioselectivity of 1,2-elimination reactions occurring via E1 mechanism or via E2 mechanism. It states that in a regioselective E1 or E2 reaction the major product is the more stable alkene, i.e., the alkene with the more highly substituted double bond.
E1 reaction always follow Zaitsev’s rule; with E2 reactions, there are exceptions (see antiperiplanar).
Answer:
D
Explanation:
We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.
Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.
Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.
