Abstract

Moist kaolin catalyses the regioselective and high-yielding chlorination and bromination of CHOR (R= C–C alkyl, Bu, allyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl) to 4-XCHOR (X= Cl and Br, respectively) with NaClO and Mn (acac) in CHCl in the absence and presence of NaBr, respectively, under mild and neutral conditions.
