👉 Dehydrochlorination is a reaction that occurs when a substance undergoes oxidation, typically involving the presence of hydrogen atoms. In this process, the compound loses one or more hydrogen atoms and converts it into a product with chlorine (Cl-). This type of reaction is also known as dehydrogenation. Dehydrochlorination can be used to produce chlorofluorocarbons, which are highly toxic chemicals that were commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioning systems before they were banned due
