Application 07/956,126
The claims on appeal are directed to a process for the free-
radical chlorination or bromination of a methylaromatic compound.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed subject matter:
1. A process for the free-radical chlorination
or bromination of a methylaromatic compound of the
formula
in which
1 2
R and R independently of each other denote
hydrogen, halogen, COHal or SOHal and
2
3 2
R denotes hydrogen or halogen, where R and
R together, if they are adjacent, can form the radical3
of a 5- or 6-membered isocyclic or heterocyclic ring,
which can itself be monosubstituted or disubstituted by
halogen, COHal or SO Hal, where such heterocyclic rings
2
contain 1 or 2 hetero atoms selected from the group
comprising N, O and S,
to give a trichloromethyl aromatic compound
or a tribromomethyl aromatic compound of the formula
