description

The title compound, C12H14Br2, was prepared by bromination/dehydrobromination ofE,E,Z-cyclododecatriene. The crystal is composed ofC2-symmetrical molecules with anEconformation of the bromoalkene fragments and nearly linear alkyne units. The torsion angles in the ring suggest significant ring strain.
