- In elimination reaction
…for example, is known as dehydrohalogenation; when both leaving atoms are halogens, the reaction is known as dehalogenation. Similarly, the elimination of a water molecule, usually from an alcohol, is known as dehydration; when both leaving atoms are hydrogen atoms, the reaction is known as dehydrogenation. Elimination reactions are also…

- In organohalogen compound: Dehydrohalogenation of a dihalide
Treatment of a geminal dihalide (both halogens on the same carbon) or a vicinal dihalide (halogens on adjacent carbons) with a base such as sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) yields a vinylic halide.
