Organic Compounds Containing Oxygen
Conjugation ignored in elimination regiochemistry
What goes wrong
Eliminates toward the less substituted or unconjugated position instead of forming the more stable conjugated system.
Next time
Always prioritize extended conjugation and ring carbocation rearrangements over standard Saytzeff substitution when predicting the major thermodynamic product.
