Abstract

A process for preparing 3,4,6-trifluorophthalonitrile from 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorophthalonitrile comprising the sequential steps of reductively dechlorinating the tetrachlorophthalonitrile, in the presence of a metal in an aqueous acidic medium, to produce 3,4,6-trichlorophthalonitrile and then subjecting the trichlorophthalonitrile to a chlorine-fluorine exchange by reaction with a fluoride source in a polar aprotic solvent.
