Abstract

cis-Dichloroethylene reacts with potassium sulfite to give potassium 1, 1, 2- ethanetrisulfonate only. trans-Dichloroethylene does not react under the same conditions. The reaction is not affected by free radical inhibitors. The fact that only the more readily dehydrohalogenated cis isomer reacts suggests an elimination-addition mechanism, proceeding through chloroacetylene as the first intermediate. Chloroacetylene does ...
