Thermal decomposition of sodium trichloroacetate in 1,2‐dimethoxyethane in the presence of various perchloro compounds leads to α,β‐elimination of chlorine from these compounds and formation of CCl 4 . Hexachlorocyclopentadiene yields decachlorobi‐(2,4‐cyclopentadien‐1‐yl) These results point to a mechanism involving Cl + ‐abstraction by the CCl 3 − ion.
