Elimination usually occurs when a base (such as hydroxide or methoxide ion) attacks a proton adjacent to a leaving group. In a concerted way, the proton is removed. The electron pair bonding the proton moves back in and kicks out the leaving group.

Choose the elimination reaction from the movies by Iverson.
