The compounds of carbon with bromine have as yet received but limited attention. The tetrabromide of carbon, CBr4 , of the methylseries is altogether unknown. Kolbe failed in obtaining this compound by submitting disulphide of carbon at a high temperature to the action of bromine, and I learn from Dr. Hofmann that the action of pentabromide of antimony on the disulphide gives no better result. The bromide of carbon, C2 Br4 , has been obtained by Löwig, who procured this substance by the action of bromine on alcohol or on ether, when it is formed according to the equations- C2 H6 O + 4 Br2 = C2 Br4 + 4 HBr + H2 O.
