, (2008/06/13)
An improved process for removal of halogen from the pyrimidine ring only of a compound of the formula SPC1 Wherein At least one of X is chlorine or bromine, the remainder hydrogen; .[.or lower alkyl.]. Q is chlorine or fluorine; and N is an integer from 1 to 5. The dehalogenation process yields an α-halophenyl-α-phenyl-5-pyrinidylmethane of 95 percent or higher purity, which compound is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of the corresponding α-halophenyl-α-phenyl-5-pyrinidylmethanol, useful as an agricultural fungicide.
