Chapter 8, Problem 8.47P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason as to why in the elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane with sodium ethoxide as base, but-2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the products is to be explained.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, generally a strong, negatively charged base is involved. According to Zaitsev rule the more alkylated alkene is the major product.
