Even though it's outside the scope of org. chem 1 and 2 you should still tell us why the Zaitsev is the major product in this case, besides "it's shown experimentally". If it were cation intermediate it would be because of hyperconjugation with the CH3 group and the free e-pair in p-orbital, but why would this be the case for an anion? I've seen similar things happen during bromonation and bromomethoxylation (where the anion/nucleophile attacks the more substituted site) - is it because of the same reason (if not, please if you would I'd love to get the explanation for both phenomena). :)

I hear where you're coming from and it is a good idea for sure. I didn't want to overload the video with details, especially dipping into the MO theory, which indeed goes beyond a typical sophomore organic chemistry course. That's why I gave a simplistic explanation here. Having said that, I do have plans to expand to advanced organic chemistry and synthesis in the future. But for now I want to build up a library of the intro-level resources before I go "well, actually..." rout 😆

Hey! Thanks for making me do "Awww, so it should've been thought this way" after a really long time. I have a question though. Does this thing of the zaitsev product being major come into play every time there are restricted rotations, like pi bonds (like if they are already present, not the ones being formed) ?

It's hard to make a blanket statement like that. It all depends on the substrate structure. So... maybe 🤷‍♂
