Zaitsev's rule (or Saytseff's rule, Saytzev rule) is an empirical rule for predicting the favored alkene product(s) in elimination reactions. While at the University of Kazan, Russian chemist Alexander Zaitsev studied a variety of different elimination reactions and observed a general trend in the resulting alkenes.or example, when 2-iodobutane is treated with alcoholic KOH, 2-butene is the major product and 1-butene is the minor product. More generally, Zaitsev's rule predicts that in an elimination reaction, the most stable alkene â typically the most substituted one â will be the favored product.
