Question
Explain Saytzelf’s rule with suitable example.

Answer

Saytzcff's rule: In dehydrohalogenation reaction the preferred product is that alkene which has the greater number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms.
Hence the number of alkyl substituents on doubly bonded Carbon atoms increases, the stability of the alkene giving its major products.

Hence the increasing stability of alkenes is.

There are two types of fi hydrogens $\left(\beta_1\right.$ and $\left.\beta_2\right)$ therefore two alkenes are expected.
