Abstract

2,2-Dichloro-5-methyl-1,1,1-trifluorohex-4-ene, an intermediate in the synthesis of pyrethroid insecticides, is obtained by continuous distillation, preferably under sub-atmospheric pressure, of a mixture of 5-methyl-2,2,4-trichloro-1,1,1-trifluorohexane, dimethylformamide and lithium bromide, precipitating the chlorofluorocarbons from the distillate with water and separating the desired product from starting material by a further distillation.
