The observations in elimination reactions can generally predict the products by using Zaitsev's rule which is: The less substituted double bond will yield the main product. The more substituted alpha carbon will yield the main product. The more substituted double bond will yield the main product. The less substituted alpha carbon will yield the main product.

Zaitsev's Rule refers to: the stereochemistry of reaction intermediates/transition states which alkene is favored in a product mixture how resonance contributors stabilize cations/anions/radicals the stability of carbocation intermediates
