The present invention relates to a method for preparing 2,6-dichloropyridine with product purity greater than or equal to 99.0% by using trifluoromethyl chlorobenzene as a solvent for reaction between pyridine and chlorine gas. The preparation process comprises the following steps: enabling pyridine and chlorine gas to continuously experience chlorination reaction under irradiation of ultraviolet light by using pyridine and chlorine gas as starting materials and using trifluoromethyl chlorobenzene as a solvent, and cooling a chlorination reaction product and the solvent to obtain pyridine chlorination solution. Advantages: firstly, it pioneers the precedent of direct and high-selectivity preparation of 2,6-dichloropyridine through liquid phase photochlorination, and not only can the 2,6-dichloropyridine product with purity greater than or equal to 99.0% be obtained, but also industrial production is facilitated; and secondly, not only can the reuse of the separated solvent in the preparation process of the 2,6-dichloropyridine product with purity greater than or equal to 99.0% be realized, but also the purposes of low pollution, low energy consumption and low cost in the preparation process can be realized.

The present invention refers to a process for transition-metal-assisted .sup.18F-deoxyfluorination of phenols. The transformation benefits from readily available phenols as starting materials, tolerance of moisture and ambient atmosphere, large substrate scope, and translatability to generate doses appropriate for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

A method for synthesizing halogenated organic compounds, such as halogenated alkenyl group-containing and halogenated alkyl group-containing compounds having a heteroatom (e.g., O,N.S) coupled to a carbon atom of a halogenated alkenyl or halogenated alkyl group, involves reacting a halogenated olefin such as a chloro-substituted trifluoropropenyl compound with an active hydrogen-containing organic compound such as an alcohol (e.g., an aliphatic monoalcohol, aliphatic polyalcohol, or a phenolic compound), a primary amine, a secondary amine or a thiol.
