What are Some Applications of Catalyzed Elimination Reactions?
Catalyzed elimination reactions have numerous applications in both laboratory and industrial settings:
Synthesis of Alkenes: Elimination reactions are a primary method for synthesizing alkenes, which are crucial intermediates in various chemical processes. Petrochemical Industry: Catalytic cracking processes involve elimination reactions to break down large hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful molecules. Pharmaceuticals: Elimination reactions are used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
