PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for the production of trichloromethoxybenzene by using a solvent composed mainly of benzotrifluoride. SOLUTION: This production process comprises the reaction of anisole with a free chlorine group source such as chlorine or sulfuryl chloride by exposing a mixture of the reactants to actinic radiation such as ultraviolet radiation to generate free chlorine group in a solvent such as benzotrifluoride, o- chlorobenzotrifluoride, m-chlorobenzotrifluoride, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride or dichlorobenzotrifluoride. |
