This type of reaction can occur hundreds of times faster if the atoms of the transition state line up in an antiperiplanar configuration.
This type of reaction can occur hundreds of times faster if the atoms of the transition state line up in an antiperiplanar configuration. The mechanism for it was proposed by Ingold and is a concerted process whose transition state includes a partially formed pi bond. An example of this type of reaction is the dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides to produce alkenes. In general, if more than one alkene can be formed, the compound with the most highly substituted double bond will be the major product, a tendency known as Zaitsev's rule. Promoted by strong bulky bases, FTP, name this type of organic reaction, in which an elimination is carried out in one step.
