Abstract

A novel process allows a simple preparation of highly pure halogen-substituted dibenzyl alcohols by reduction of the corresponding halogen-substituted terephthalic acids and reaction with an alkylating agent, sulfuric acid, alkyl- or arylsulfonic acids. The highly pure halogen-substituted dibenzyl alcohols obtained are suitable in particular for preparing pharmaceutically or agrochemically active compounds.
