ABSTRACT Process for the preparation of trifluorobenzene derivatives Disclosed is a process for the preparation of trifluoronitrobenzene derivatives of formula (I) wherein R is hydrogen, C1-C8alkyl, halo-C1-C8alkyl or allyl, as well as a process for the preparation of 2-nitro-3,4,6-trifluorobenzoic acid derivatives of formula II (II) wherein R is as defined above. The compounds of formula I are useful intermediates for the synthesis of pest control agents. |
