Abstract
Disclosed is a method of making m-chlorobenzotrifluoride. Benzotrifluoride is reacted with chlorine gas in the presence of about 0.1 to about 5 mole % (based on benzotrifluoride) of a metal chloride which can be FeCl.sub.3, SbCl.sub.3, or AlCl.sub.3 and about 0.025 to about 5.0 mole % (based on benzotrifluoride) of a catalyst having the formula ##STR1## where Z is halogen, alkyl from C.sub.1 to C.sub.6, alkoxy from C.sub.1 to C.sub.6, or fluoroalkyl from C.sub.1 to C.sub.6, n is 0 to 5, and the molar ratio of metal chloride to cocatalyst is about 0.5 to about 4.
