The 1, 1, 3-trichloro-2-fluoro-1-propene was synthesized from l, l-dichloro-2-fluoro-l-propene by the use of N-bromosuccinimide followed by hydrolysis of the S-bromo-l, l-dichloro-2- fluoro-l-propene to 3, 3-dichloro-2-fluoro-2-propen-l-ol and conversion of this allylic alcohol to the desired allylic chloride in a manner similar to that previously used to prepare the 1, 3- dichloro-2-fluoropropenes from the 1-chloro-Zfluoro-1-propenes.'The 1, 1, 2, 3-tetrachloro- ...
