Question

explain zaitsev reaction with a suitable example and give the reason for the formation of Major product​

Answer 1

A double bond is formed due to loss of water molecule. It is an elimination reaction. According to Saytzeff's rule (also known as Zaitsev's rule), during dehydration, more substituted alkene (olefin) is formed as a major product, since greater the substitution of double bond greater is the stability of alkene.
