Disclosed is a method for producing an 1,2-phenylethane compound with an extremely high yield through a short-time reaction. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing an 1,2-phenylethane compound, wherein a compound represented by the formula (II) below is produced by subjecting a compound represented by the formula (I) below to a coupling reaction in the presence of a transition metal complex. [Chemical formula 1] (I) (In the formula, Ra represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group; Rb represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, n represents an integer of 1-5, and when n is not less than 2, Rb's may be the same as or different from each other and may combine together to form a ring; and X represents a halogen atom.)
