In solvents of low polarity it is neither a monomolecular nor a dissociated alcoholate species which effects dehydrohalogenation of vic-dihaloalkanes and OTC-dihalocycloalkanes but rather a dimeric, trimeric or tetrameric alcoholate aggregate. This behavior has important implications for the stereochemical outcome of such elimination reactions.
