    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for halogenating cyclopropylmethyl ketone with at least one dihalogen triorganophosphorane of the general formula (I): R3PHal2, in which the R groups can be the same or different and designate a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, a phenyl or C1-C4 alkylphenyl group which can optionally be further substituted by one to two fluorine, chlorine and/or nitro groups, P means phosphorus and Hal means chlorine, bromine or iodine, at 80 to 130 ~C, the dihalogen triorganophosphorane of the general formula (I) being prepared in situ from triorganophosphane oxide or triorganophosphane sulphide of the general formula (II), R3PA, in which R has the meaning given under formula (I) and A stands for oxygen or sulphur, with a halogenation reagent. The process is characterized in that the triorganophosphane oxide or triorganophosphane sulphide is used in catalytic amounts. The invention also concerns the halogenation product of the cyclopropyl ketone obtained according to this process and a process for reacting it to form cyclopropylacetylene.
