Preferred Label : elimination;
IUPAC definition : The reverse of an addition reaction or transformation. In an elimination two groups
(called eliminands) are lost most often from two different centres (1/2/elimination
or 1/3/elimination, etc.) with concomitant formation of an unsaturation in the molecule
(double bond, triple bond) or formation of a new ring. If the groups are lost from
a single centre (α-elimination, 1/1/elimination) the resulting product is a carbene
or a 'carbene analogue'.;
