In contrast to the E1 eliminations, different stereochemical configurations are possible for the reaction product in the E2 mechanism, because the attack of the base preferentially occurs in the anti-position with respect to the leaving group.
The catalytic mechanism of D-lactose hydrolysis retains the substrate anomeric configuration in the products. citation While the details of the mechanism are uncertain, the stereochemical retention is achieved through a double displacement reaction.
Through the use of chiral methyl groups, the stereochemical course of several biochemical transformations have been analyzed.
