Tetrabromomethane, CBr4, also known as carbon tetrabromide, is a carbon bromide. Both names are acceptable under IUPAC nomenclature, depending on whether it is considered as an inorganic or an organic compound. In combination with triphenylphosphine, CBr4 is used in the Mitsunobu reaction, which converts alcohols to alkyl bromides.
