Thank you for being so clear. The black background is very easy to look at

[herpderpmonkey]

teachers really need to start using color-coded markers like this. it's so much easier to follow!

in the final product with the R' and R'' why would it be cis? wouldn't trans have less steric clash and be more stable?

You said in an E2 reaction, the weak base will take an H from the beta-carbon; in your example with 2-chloropentane it makes sense and works well. HOWEVER what if you have 2 halides and a strong base for an E2 reaction (from a workbook)? Here's the question:

2,3,-dibromobutane goes through double dehydrohalogenation w/ 3NaNH2, NH3 in H2O solvent to give butene.

Do the e- from NH2 take H's from the 2 alpha-carbons OR the 2 beta-carbons followed by hydrogen shifts, to form the triple bond?

You are so much better than my professor and my book at explaining this. Thanks so much!

i love this T_T THANK YOU!!! Organic chemistry would be so much fun if it is always taught with this black background, pretty round handwriting, neon colourful writing, and CLEAR explanations!! Exam tomorrow so this is such a relief that I Finally understand the Zaitsev rule :P
