PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PARTIALLY HALOGENATED 1-PROPANOLES

摘要

The reaction of a zinc compound compound of formula III CF3CCl2ZnCl.yL (III) wherein y is 1 or 2 and L is a solvent ligand selected from the group consisting of the N-disubstituted acid amides, N-substituted lactams and organic sulfoxides, with an aldehyde of formula II R-CHO (II) wherein R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical or an aliphatic or aromatic heterocyclic radical, gives 1-propanols of formula I (I) in high yields.
