A process for the simultaneous preparation of 2,3-difluoro- and 2,3-dichloropyridines from 3-chloro-2-fluoropyridines which comprises passing a 3-chloro-2-fluoropyridine over a carbon based catalyst, optionally in the presence of HF, at elevated temperatures, thereby forming the corresponding 2,3-dichloro- and 2,3-difluoropyridines. |
