Vinyl bromide is the organobromine compound with the formula {{chem2|CH2\dCHBr}}. Classified as a vinyl halide, it is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is used as a reagent and a comonomer.

Synthesis, reactions, and applications

It is produced from ethylene dibromide:

:{{chem2|CH2Br\sCH2Br -> CH2\dCHBr + HBr}}

{{chem2|CH2\dCHBr}} is mainly consumted as a comonomer to confer fire retardant properties to acrylate polymers.{{ Ullmann | author = Dagani, M. J. | author2 = Barda, H. J. | author3 = Benya, T. J. | author4 = Sanders, D. C. | title = Bromine Compounds | doi = 10.1002/14356007.a04_405 }}

Vinyl bromide reacts with magnesium to give the corresponding Grignard reagent {{chem2|CH2\dCHMgBr}}.{{cite journal|title=Di-n-butyldivinyltin|author=Dietmar Seyferth|journal=Org.
