When 2-bromobutane reacts with alcoholic KOH, 2-butene is the major product. This follows which empirical rule of organic chemistry?
Q1. When 2-bromobutane reacts with alcoholic KOH, 2-butene is the major product. This follows which empirical rule of organic chemistry?
Answer: Saytzeff's
Explanation: Saytzeff's rule states the more substituted alkene is the major product; Markovnikov's is tempting but applies to addition reactions, not elimination.
