THE REACTİONS OF TRICHLORO-AND TRİBROMOBENZENES WITH HYDROXIDE ION AND PREPARATION OF DIHALOPHENOLS
Trichloro and tribromobenzenes form dichloro-and dibromophenols with excess KOH in DMSO and water. The reactions are of bimolecular addition-elimination Sjç Ar type where a hydroxide ion displaces a halogen atom. Due to the deaetivation effect of hydroxide group, bound to the ring, no other hydroxide displacement was observed.
