KOtBu

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does KOtBu always create the hoffman product or is there a situation in which the Zaitsev product is favored?

KOtBu is potassium Tert-Butyl. the Tert-butyl is as bulky as it gets man, its huge! so it attacks the least hindered, least substituted side best because it can't dig deeper in.
