Notes:
Potassium hydroxide, in presence of tetraethyleneglycol dimethyl ether, easily abstracts hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide from secondary and tertiary halides, but primary chlorides lead to roughly equal amounts of elimination and substitution products. Addition of small quantities of trimethylamine, however, starts a catalytic cycle involving ammonium salts and favoring alkene formation. The described method appears to be more efficient and more economic than any other non-pyrolytic process.
