The bromobenzene is chlorinated in the same condition. The dichlorobenzene is reacted with the dibromodichlorobenzene in the presence of an aluminum halide for 1 to 5 hours. In these methods, 1-bromo-2,4-dichlorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,5-dichlorobenzene, and 1-bromo-3,4-dichlorobenzene etc. can be obtained in high yield.
