The present invention lies in a process for producing a trifluoromethylthiomethylbenzene derivative represented by the following general formula (2):(wherein R is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a cyano group, a nitro group, or a benzoyl group which may be substituted with halogen atom, alkyl group, alkoxy group, aliphatic or aromatic acyl group, nitro group, cyano group or alkoxycarbonyl group; n is an integer of 1 to 5; when n is an integer of 2 or more, a plurality of R's may be the same of each independently different), which process comprises reacting, in acetonitrile, a benzyl halide derivative represented by the following general formula (1):(wherein R and n have the same definitions as given above; and X is a halogen atom, an alkylsulfonyloxy group or an arylsulfonyloxy group which may be substituted with alkyl group or halogen atom) with thiophosgene and potassium fluoride. |
