1,2-Dibromoethylene, also known as 1,2-dibromoethene and acetylene dibromide, is a dihalogenated unsaturated compound with one bromine on each of the two carbon atoms. There are two isomers of this compound, cis and trans. Both isomers are colorless liquids.

Synthesis

(E)-1,2-Dibromoethene can be synthesized by halogenation of acetylene with bromine Br₂.[1] In order to prevent the formation tetrahalogenated compounds, acetylene is used in excess, with Br₂ as the limiting reagent.

Alternately, halogenation of this kind could also be achieved through the use of two equivalents of N-bromosuccinimide and lithium bromide (LiBr). N-Bromosuccinimide provides Br⁺ as an electrophile, which is followed by Br⁻ from LiBr.[2]

gollark: Well, potatOS can by default overwrite your entire home directory.

gollark: The majority of recent incident reports are just blasphemy at this point, because <@151391317740486657> is being spammy and also doesn't know how to trigger the other kinds.

gollark: CraftOS-PC has fun features like the ability to mount arbitrary directories read-write on by default.

gollark: Please, this incident report log thing is used by me too, and I can hardly do much with your IP.
