| Abstract: | Bromination of 2,2-dichlorovinyl(phenyl) sulfide with bromine afforded a product that, upon heating or addition of zinc, cleaved the bromine to form the original sulfide. Chlorination of 2,2-dibromovinyl(phenyl) sulfide with chlorine resulted in substitution of a bromine atom by chlorine and/or hydrogen at the double bond as well as cleavage of the C-S bond to form polyhaloethenes, polyhalosulfides, and chlorinated dithioethenes. The chlorine addition product was absent.Irkutsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk 664033.
