A process for preparation of a 2,3 or 4-oxo-benzaldehyde or ketone compound by reaction of a 2,3 or 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde or ketone with an ortho, meta or parabromo or chloralkylphenoxy compound comprises reaction of the bromo or chloroalkylphenoxy compound with potassium iodide to form an iodo compound in situ; then, reaction of the resulting product with a 2, 3 or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde or ketone in the presence of alkylpyridine and a dipolar aprotic solvent. The resulting compounds are useful for formation of photographic color couplers for use in photographic materials.
