Abstract

A process for producing dihalobenzene disulfone compounds, comprising reacting, in the presence of aluminum trichloride PA1 a halobenzene sulfonyl halide of the formula ##STR1## wherein X and Y are halogen which may be the same or different, with a compound of the formula EQU H - Q - H PA1 wherein Q is a divalent radical containing benzenoid unsaturation and the hydrogens are replaceable under electrophilic Friedel-Crafts reaction conditions, PA1 in a solvent consisting essentially of about 1 to about 25 volume %, based on the solvent volume, of nitromethane and, correspondingly, about 99 to about 75 volume %, of a polar aliphatic halohydrocarbon, the total solvent volume employed being sufficient to provide between about 0.5 and about 1.5 moles of nitromethane per mole of aluminum trichloride, PA1 thereby producing a dihalobenzene disulfone compound of the formula ##STR2##
