METHOD FOR PRODUCING HALOMETHYL AROMATIC DERIVATIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a halomethyl aromatic derivative using a safe metal catalyst instead of a zinc compound which has bad effects on the environment and a problem in safety to a human body. SOLUTION: The method for producing a halomethyl aromatic derivative by halomethylation of an aromatic in the presence of the metal catalyst uses a group 3 (IIIA) element compound, a group 4 (IVA) element compound and/or a group 13 (IIIB) element compound as the metal catalyst.
