    Abstract: HOE 91/F 318 Process for the preparation of 2-nitro-5-fluoro- or -5-chlorophenol The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of isomerically pure 2-nitro-5-fluoro- or -5-chlorophenol, by reacting 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene or 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene with aqueous alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution or suspension in the absence of organic solvents or other solubility promoting substances at temperatures from about 20.degree.C to about 190.degree.C, adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to about 1 to about 6 by the addition of acid, steam distilling the resultant product and isolating it from the distillate after cooling.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the compounds cis4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)cinnamonitrile and trans4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)cinnamonitrile and to a process for their preparation. The process relates to the preparationofcis-4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)cinnamo-nitrile and trans-4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)cinnamo-nitrile or optionally one of these two compounds, by fractionally distilling a mixture containing cis- and trans-4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)cinnamontrile under reduced pressure, separating off a main fraction containing at least 80% by weight of cis-4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-propoxy)cinnamonitrile and a main fraction containing at least 80% by weight of trans-4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-propoxy)cinnamonitrile, further purifying these main fractions by means of fractional crystallization or melt crystallization or adjusting one of these main fractions by isomerization to the cis/trans isomer ratio corresponding to the particular thermodynamic equilibrium and returning it to the process and returning the remaining fractions to the process directly or after isomerization.
