Elimination Reaction for some alcohols and alkyl halides will result in different alkene products, and Saytzeff or Zaitsev Rule is used to determine the major product.

Saytzeff or Zaitsev Rule states that the more substituted alkene will be the major product.

So by looking at the number of alkyl groups attached to the alkene, the degree of substitution and hence major and minor products can be determined.

For a step-by-step guide to predict the major product using Saytzeff Rule, check out this video lesson now!
