Part A: Explain what the difference between regioselectivity and stereoselectivity with respect to elimination reactions. Part B: Provide an analogy relating what Zaitsev rule means to an elimination reaction. e.g. You are are on the battlefield and you must lead your squad (electrons) to safety (double bond) through an enemy contingent (halide). You have two options: proceed through a marsh where you know there is an ally (a substituent) OR you can join two other allies (two substituents) on a hilltop. Either way, you are going to lose private Jenkins or his brother, Leeroy, in the fight towards either location (loss of a hydrogen). :(
