Abstract
A process for producing 3,5-difluoroaniline, which comprises reacting a benzonitrile compound of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein each of X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine or a cyano group, provided that at least one of X.sub.1 to X.sub.3 is a cyano group, with a mineral acid for hydrolysis and decarboxylation to obtain an aniline compound of the formula (II): ##STR2## wherein each of X.sub.4, X.sub.5 and X.sub.6 is hydrogen, chlorine or bromine, provided that at least one of X.sub.4 to X.sub.6 is hydrogen, and in the case of a compound of the formula (II) wherein X.sub.4, X.sub.5 and X.sub.6 are not simultaneously hydrogen, reacting such a compound with hydrogen in a presence of a catalyst for reduction to obtain 3,5 -difluoroaniline.
