Catalysts for Elimination
« on: March 27, 2013, 10:12:10 AM »
Are there any universally good catalysts for elimination of leaving groups? What are the best catalysts for elimination of an -OH group to form the alkene, or -X (X is a halogen)?  I know H+ is good in the -X case, but would anything further catalyse it?
