Tribromoethylene is a bromoalkene and a trihaloethylene with the chemical formula C2HBr3. It can be made from 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane.[3]

Tribromoethylene reacts with potassium hydroxide to yield dibromoacetylene via dehydrobromination,[4] this reaction is analogous to the synthesis of dichloroacetylene from trichloroethylene. Tribromoethylene reacts with nitric acid to form dibromoacetic acid.[5]
