It was shown that vinylidene chloride can be obtained in virtually quantitative yield by the use of triethylbenzylammonium alkoxides as catalysts of 1,1,2-trichloroethane dehydrochlorination. Catalyst anions containing an unsaturated carbon bond in the position relative to oxygen increase catalyst activity. The catalyst is present in the organic phase and is not transferred from one phase into the other.
