atalytic dehydrohalogenation of dihaloalkanes with Fe(III) and its mechanism has been investigated. Damped oscillations of the reaction mixture were observed when the reactions were carried out at 50C in evacuated systems. We have described the main features of this behavior taking into account the organo- metallic intermediates, the reversibility of the reaction and the catalyst transformation. # 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
