E.g. Wittig reaction. The use of Ph3P=CH2 with benzaldehyde can give styrene.

Just wondering, how about the reaction between vinyl chloride and chlorobenzene in presence of sodium in ether medium?
(similar to Wurtz-Fittig). Is it possible? I know vinyl halides are unstable but, is this reaction feasible? Please explain
