  1. CH 7-3: E2 Reaction - Stereospecific Elimination • To form overlapping p-orbitals in the alkene product, the b-hydrogen and leaving group must be “anti-coplanar” in the transition state...……..”anti-elimination”. • When the leaving group OR b-hydrogen is at a chiral center, the stereochemistry of elimination becomes important in determining the geometry of the alkene product.

  2. Stereochemistry in the E2 Reaction:Elimination at Chiral Centers • Look at the Neuman Projection for the alkyl halide: Note that if Ha is anti with Br, that the trans alkene forms.

  3. Note that if Hb is anti with Br, that the cis (less stable) alkene forms.
