Abstract
rac-2,3-Dibromosuccinic acid, C4H4Br2O4, is the product of the electrophili c addition of bromine to maleic acid. Whereas the carboxyl groups and the b romo ligands are in a gauche arrangement with respect to each other, the te rtiary H atoms attached to the central C atoms are in a trans arrangement. The hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl O atoms of neighb ouring molecules.
