1. More useful is the E1 elimination reaction of alcohols to produce alkenes. 2. An addition reaction is the reverse of an elimination reaction . 3. Reductive elimination reactions are most commonly seen in high oxidation state metals. 4. Radical elimination reactions are found in enzyme-catalyzed pathways. 5. In the Shapiro reaction tosylhydrazones are used as leaving group in elimination reactions . 6. The reaction type is an elimination reaction with magnesium forming an intermediate Grignard reagent. 7. Radicals can also undergo elimination reaction to generate a new radical as the leaving group. 8. Perhaps one of the main reasons Zaitsev began investigating elimination reactions was to disprove his rival. 9. These factors make neophyl chloride a precursor to intermediates that resist common substitution and elimination reactions . 10. After replacement of iodine by an hydroxyl anion, an elimination reaction takes place to the alkene.
