Abstract

An improved process for removal of halogen from the pyrimidine ring only of a compound of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein PA1 At least one of X is chlorine or bromine, the remainder hydrogen; .[.or lower alkyl.]. PA1 Q is chlorine or fluorine; and PA1 N is an integer from 1 to 5. The dehalogenation process yields an .alpha.-halophenyl-.alpha.-phenyl-5-pyrinidylmethane of 95 percent or higher purity, which compound is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of the corresponding .alpha.-halophenyl-.alpha.-phenyl-5-pyrinidylmethanol, useful as an agricultural fungicide.
