Abstract
A halogenated alkane of the formula EQU R--CHXY (I) wherein R is a trifluoromethyl group, a chlorodifluoromethyl group, a dichlorofluoromethyl group, a chlorofluoromethyl group, a difluoromethyl group, a fluoromethyl group or a 2-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl group, and X and Y are the same or different and a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom or a fluorine atom can be prepared at a high yield by reducing a halogenated alkane of the formula: EQU R--CClXY (II) wherein R, X and Y are the same as defined above with the irradiation of light having a wavelength of not longer than 300 nm in an oxygen-free reaction atmosphere in the presence of 3 to 10 moles of an alcohol per mole of the halogenated alkane of the formula (II) or in the presence of 0.1 to 10 moles of an alcohol per mole of the halogenated alkane of the formula (II) and an alkali.
