CHLORINATION OF SUBSTITUTED ALKENES USING TRICHOLORISOCYANURIC ACID.

摘要

This invention relates to a process for the selective monochlorination or dichlorination of certain substituted alkenes using trichloroisocyanuric acid. The chlorinated alkenes can be easily hydrolyzed to provide alpha -monochloroketones or alpha , alpha -dichloroketones with a high degree of selectivity. The resulting alpha -monochloroketones or alpha , alpha -dichloroketones have utility as fungicides or function as useful intermediates for fungicides.
