Abstract
This chapter concerns the formation of alkenes by dehydrogenation, dehydration, elimination of hydrogen halide under acidic, basic conditions or by using more sophisticated reagents. The access to alkenes from carboxylic acids, ethers, epoxides, 1,2-diols, and derivatives is also described. A special emphasis has been made on methods, which allow the formation of the double bond with high regio- and stereocontrol. Great attention has been paid to processes which are consistent with the use of protective groups. Moreover, numerous examples cited in this review are part of multistep syntheses of complex natural products.
