Preparing ortho-substituted aniline compound of formula (I), comprises reacting a mixture comprising substituted aniline compound of formula (II) and thioether derivative of formula (R1-S-C(R2)(H)(R3)) (III), in presence of a chlorinating agent and an organic solvent at a reaction temperature of -65[deg] C, preferably -50 to -20[deg] C and obtaining the ortho-substituted aniline compound. R1 : 1-6C alkyl, substituted alkyl, substituted aryl or aryl, preferably 1-4C alkyl; R3 : electron withdrawing- or activating group comprising -CO-R1, -CO-X, SO(n 1>)-R1, -CN, -NO 2, aryl or heteroaryl; either R2 : H, 1-6C alkyl, substituted alkyl, substituted aryl or aryl; and R21 : R2 or residue other than R2; or R2R21 : ring; X : OR1, SR1, NR2R21; n 1> : 0-2; R4 : halo, CF 3, CN, NO 2or COY1, preferably 2-F; Y1 : OR1, SR1, NR2R22; R22 : R2 or residue other than R2; n : 1-4, preferably 1; and R5 : R2.
