dehydrogenation

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the removal of hydrogen is known as oxidation and not reduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydrogenation is the process by which hydrogen is removed from an organic compound to form a new chemical (e.g., to convert saturated into unsaturated compounds). It is used to produce aldehydes and ketones by the dehydrogenation of alcohols.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxidation is the loss of hydrogen. Reduction is the gain of hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -OXIDATION: It involves the addition of oxygen to a substance or the removal of hydrogen from a substance. The compound or element from which hydrogen is removed or in which oxygen is added is said to be oxidized. The elements which remove hydrogen or add oxygen are called oxidizing agents.
Detailed explanation-5: -The earlier concept of oxidation and reduction is based on the addition or removal of oxygen or hydrogen elements so, in terms of oxygen and hydrogen, oxidation is addition of oxygen to a substance and removal of hydrogen from a substance.
