In a variant of one reaction to produce these compounds, lead tetraacetate is used to decarboxalate carboxylic acids. That reaction, named for Kochi, is a version of another reaction that creates these using silver salts of carboxylic acids, a reaction named for Hunsdiecker. Atoms from two of these compounds are exchanged, often in the presence of acetone, in the Finkelstein reaction. These compounds are commonly used as solvents for relatively nonpolar compounds, and the formation of alkenes from these compounds is more predictable when done via an E2 mechanism and can be predicted by Zaitsev's rule. For ten points, name these compounds in which an atom from the ser
