It can be prepared by coupling of C2 compounds such as from chlorotrifluoroethylene or bromotrifluoroethylene. Routes from C4 species have also been demonstrated. For example, an early synthesis involved Zn-induced dechlorination of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-1,1,2,3,4,4-hexafluorobutane.[citation needed]
Hexafluorobutadiene dimerizes via a [2+2] process at 150 °C to give perfluorinated divinylcyclobutanes.[1]
