Notes:
Earlier evidence led to the view that in bimolecular olefin-forming eliminations the anti steric course is generally preferred over the syn. Recent experiments, however, show that in some common bimolecular elimination reactions, notably those involving onium bases, syn- and anti-eliminations proceed side by side, the former preferentially leading to the trans- and the latter to the cis-olefins.
