• This means that the hydrogen atom and halogen atom must be 180o (coplanar) with respect to each other!!
• Draw a Newman projection formula and place the H and X on opposite sides.

Explaination of Zaitsev’s rule:
When you remove a hydrogen atom from the more branched position, you are forming a more highly substituted alkene.

• These reactions proceed under neutral conditions where a polar solvent helps to stabilize the carbocation intermediate.
• This solvent also acts as a weak base and removes a proton in the fast step.
• These types of reactions are referred to as solvolysis reactions.

• tertiary substrates go by E1 in polar solvents, with little or no base present!

Carbocation stability orderCarbocation stability order
Tertiary (3o) > secondary (2o) > primary (1o)
It is hard (but not impossible) to get primary compounds to go by E1. The reason for this is that primary carbocations are not stable!

• E1 reactions do not require an anti coplanar orientation of H and X.
• Diastereomers give the same products with E1 reactions, including cis- and trans products.
• Remember, E2 reactions usually give different products with diastereomers.

• Alkyl groups and hydrogen can migrate in rearrangement reactions to give more stable intermediate carbocations.
• You shouldn’t assume that rearrangements always occur in all E1 reactions, otherwise paranoia will set in!!

comparison of E2 / E1comparison of E2 / E1
• E1 reactions occur under essentially neutral conditions with polar solvents, such as water, ethyl alcohol or acetic acid.
• E1 reactions can also occur with strong bases, but only at low concentration, about 0.01 to 0.1 M or below.
• E2 reactions require strong base in high concentration, about 1 M or above.

comparison of E2 / E1comparison of E2 / E1• E1 is a stepwise mechanism (two or
more);Carbocation intermediate!
• E2 is a concerted mechanism (one step)No intermediate!
• E1 reactions may give rearranged products
• E2 reactions don’t give rearrangement• Alcohol dehydration reactions are E1

Elimination with bulky basesElimination with bulky bases
• Non-bulky bases, such as hydroxide and ethoxide, give Zaitsev products.
• Bulky bases, such as potassium tert-butoxide, give larger amounts of the least substituted alkene (Hoffmann) than with simple bases.
