Abstract
In the preparation of m-chlorobenzotrifluoride (m-CBTF) by reaction between benzotrifluoride and chlorine gas, a combination of a chloride of a metal having a valence of 3 to 6 and a small amount of iodine is used as catalyst. Alternative to iodine use can be made of an iodide that liberates iodine in the presence of chlorine. The catalyst exhibits high selectivity for m-CBTF and is effective for increasing the ratio of m-CBTF to p-CBTF in the reaction product.
