Fastplay on and 12:00 in.

He mentioned that in regards to E2, conjugation wins over more substituted alkene. He then says that this is only an exception in regards to E2 and not E1 and that E1 favors more sub product. A moment later he says that E1 would end up like the product on the board.

Would someone mind clarifying this for me? I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something.

E1 and E2 will favor both the most substituted product unless there is a big bulky base attacking
