A study of reduction of trihalomethyl carbinols and their derivatives by indium metal shows that while trichloromethyl carbinols produce a mixture of the corresponding dichloromethyl carbinol and vinylidene dichloride, the acetates, mesylates and tosylates of the trichloro- and tribromomethyl carbinols undergo clean reduction to provide the respective vinylidene dichloride only.
