The mixture was heated to 70° C. for 5 hours to complete hydrolysis. After completion of the reaction, 357 g (1.05 moles) of 10% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide was added dropwise at 40° C. over a period of 1 hour. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature. The precipitated crystals were filtered, giving 134.7 g of 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl disulfide in a yield of 93.9% based on 4-chlorophenyl dichloromethyl sulfide.
