The Saytzeff rule states that in elimination reactions, the more substituted alkene—the one with more alkyl groups on the double-bonded carbons—is the major product. So, you predict it by looking for the hydrogen removed from the carbon with the *fewer* hydrogens, *yaar*.
I'm grinding through these mechanisms tonight, my lamp the only light in the house, and it’s this rule that makes me feel in control—unlike my sleep schedule.
So, while everyone stresses the stability of the alkene, for me it’s a clear, reliable pattern I can bank on, like saving a little from each night’s salary for my daughter’s future.
