The invention concerns a method for preparing α-halogenated ketones from secondary α-halogenated alcohols. More particularly, the invention concerns the preparation of α-trihalogenated ketones from secondary α-trihalogenated alcohols. The method for preparing said α-halogenated ketone is characterized in that it consists in oxidizing in liquid phase, a secondary α-halogenated alcohol, using molecular oxygen or a gas containing same, in the presence of a catalyst based on a metal M 1 selected among metals of group 1b and 8 of the periodic system of elements and optionally an activating element. |
