Abstract

Meta-chlorophenols useful as intermediates in various organic syntheses are prepared by selectively catalytically hydrodechlorinating a polychlorophenol in liquid phase in an acid solvent medium which is at least partially aqueous and which comprises halide ions, in the presence of a Group VIII noble metal catalyst, said polychlorophenol bearing chlorine substituents in both the meta- and ortho- and/or para-positions.
