Abstract
The gas‐phase decomposition of chloroform at 400‐500°C in the presence of an alkene leads to a chlorodiene and hydrogen chloride.Evidence is presented that the primary step is the decomposition of chloroform to dichlorocarbene, which adds to the alkene; the resulting dichlorocyclopropane rearranges, with loss of hydrogen chloride, to a chlorodiene.Keywords
