Abstract: 
Besides additions and substitutions, elimination reactions play a fundamental role in organic synthesis. However, conceptual reviews of known 1,x-elimination patterns that go beyond the typical olefin-forming 1,2-eliminations are scarce. To develop a broader understanding of elimination reactions, we follow a heuristic approach and deduce recurrent reaction patterns from traditional and specific elimination reactions. Our work demonstrates that 1,x-elimination reactions and their outcomes can be easily rationalized by defined mnemonic categories.
