A study was carried out on the oxidation of benzene and halobenzenes by Co(III) and Mn(III) acetates in the presence of alkali metal chlorides and bromides in CF/sub 3/CO/sub 2/H and its aqueous solutions (10-33 vol. % H/sub 2/O). The optimal water content in the solution is a function both of the nature of the metal oxidizing agent and the aromatic substrate. The reaction presumably proceeds through the formation of an aromatic radical-cation which then reacts with the halide anion. The oxidative chlorination of bromobenzene is complicated by ipso substitution and bromine redistribution. Phenyl iodosodichloride may be isolated in preparative yield in the chlorination of iodobenzene. In other cases, variation of the reaction conditions may give high yields of the corresponding chlorine and bromine derivatives. The feasibility of polychlorination was studied. Possible reaction mechanisms were considered.
