Abstract: Fungicidal solutions containing 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalodinitrile are provided. The solutions are prepared by dissolving from 5% to 12% by weight of 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalodinitrile in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone. The solutions are clear and can be stirred without streaking or sedimentation into water-based paints or lacquers or solvent-containing paints or lacquers.

Abstract: Novel 2,2-dibromo-3-oxonitriles of Formula I,R--CO--CBr.sub.2 --CN (I)in which R represents in each case a possibly substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group, with the exception of a phenyl group substituted with 1 to 3 chlorine atoms, can be obtained in that a carboxylic acid ester of Formula IIR--CO--OR' (II)in which R has the significance indicated for Formula I, and in which R' represents a straight chain or branched alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, is reacted with acetonitrile in the presence of a strong base, the 3-oxonitrile produced is isolated from the reaction mixture and reacted in a solvent inert with respect to bromine and in the presence of a hydrogen bromide acceptor, possibly under cooling, and the 2,2-dibromo-3-oxonitrile of Formula I obtained is isolated from the reaction mixture.
