Elimination reactions form double bonds by removing atoms from "summary" of Organic Chemistry by John E. McMurry
Elimination reactions involve the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule to form a double bond. This process typically occurs in the presence of a strong base that abstracts a proton from a hydrogen that is beta to the leaving group. The leaving group then departs, resulting in the formation of a double bond.
One common type of elimination reaction is the dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides. In this reaction, a strong base, such as hydroxide ion, removes a proton from the carbon adjacent to the halogen atom, causing the halogen to le...
