Perchlorohexatriene isomerizes in three subsequent rearrangements to perchloro-2-vinylbutadiene. A radical-induced Z-E-equilibration of linear perchlorohexatrienes is followed by cyclization to a methylenecyclopentene. Under flash-vacuum pyrolysis conditions, a ring contraction to 1,2-dimethylenecyclobutane occurs. In the condensed phase, a radical-induced ring opening generates the branched perchloro-vinylbutadiene. All compounds are converted to hexachlorobenzene, but only at very high temperatures.
