The 16 pages that link to Elimination reaction, each with the reason it gives.

• Nucleophilic substitutionCompared with: Elimination competes with substitution when a nucleophile or base meets an alkyl substrate.

• Organic chemistryBroader topic: Elimination competes with substitution and creates carbon–carbon double bonds.

• Nucleophilic additionCompared with: It often reverses addition by restoring unsaturation and expelling a small molecule.

• Dehydration reactionNarrower topic: Dehydration is one route to elimination when water leaves and a double bond forms.

• Carbocation rearrangementCompared with: Elimination may compete with rearrangement when a carbocation loses a neighboring proton.

• Condensation reactionCompared with: It releases a small molecule too, but typically creates unsaturation rather than joining two molecules.

• Atom economyBroader topic: The removed atoms commonly form a separate product rather than entering the desired molecule.

• Williamson ether synthesisCompared with: Bulky substrates or strong bases can favor elimination over ether-forming substitution.

• Addition reactionCompared with: Elimination commonly reverses addition by restoring a π bond and expelling a group.

• Organic reactionCompared with: It competes with substitution when a substrate and reagent can follow either pathway.

• HaloalkaneRelated: A base can remove a neighboring hydrogen as halide leaves, producing an alkene.

• ChloroethaneRelated: Removing hydrogen chloride from chloroethane produces ethene.

• Organochlorine chemistryRelated: Alkyl chlorides can lose hydrogen chloride to form alkenes.

• BromoethaneCompared with: Strong bases can favor ethene formation instead of substitution of bromoethane.

• Ei mechanismNarrower topic: Ei is one mechanistic route to an elimination product.

• Non-nucleophilic baseRelated: Deprotonation can initiate elimination instead of substitution when nucleophilic attack is suppressed.
