Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing 1,1-dihalo-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethanes by isomerization of 1,2-dihalotetrafluoroethanes at their reflux temperature, by using, as a catalyst, the reaction product prepared "in situ" from an anhydrous aluminum halide with at least equimolecular amounts of the isomer, 1,1-dihalo-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane in a medium consisting of 1,2-dihalotetrafluoroethane. The products find application as intermediates for pyrethroid insecticides.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A process for isomerizing a 1,2-dihalotetrafluoroethane selected from the group consisting of 1,2-dichloro- and 1,2-dibromo-tetrafluoroethane to 1,1-dichloro- or 1,1-dibromo-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, said process being characterized in that the isomerization is catalyzed by an activated complex formed in situ, and obtained by reacting an anhydrous aluminum halide selected from the group consisting of aluminum chloride and aluminum bromide with preformed 1,1dichloro- or 1,1-dibromo-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, in an amount equal to at least 1 mole per mole of aluminum halide, in a medium consisting essentially of 1,2-dichloro- or 1,2-dibromo-tetrafluoroethane, in an amount equal to 10 to 500 parts by weight with respect to the aluminum halide, the isomerization being carried out at the reflux temperature of the 1,2-dichloro- or 1,2-dibromo-tetrafluoroethane to be isomerized.
