Abstract
Reaction of tribromoethylene 1 with chlorine gave 1,1,2,2-tetrabromo-1-chloroethane 4 as the major product. Dehydrohalogenation of 4 with methanolic potassium hydroxide gave tribromochloroethylene 2. The structure of 4 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Molecular computations of 4 and its isomer 5 showed that 5 is slightly more stable.
