Abstract

Selective, high yield partial fluorination of p-bis-(trichloromethyl) benzene to p-bis- (chlorodifluoromethyl) benzene has been accomplished by warming a slurry of the p-bis- (trichloromethyl) benzene in anhydrous HF which also contains a small quantity of inert solvent, such as 1, 2-dichloroethane.
