Procedure

The thiophenol derivative and the halogenated aromatic compound are reacted under the reaction conditions described above, subjected to distillation under a reduced pressure as it is or after filtration, to obtain a polyphenyl thioether crude product fraction. For example, by the reaction between a potassium salt of thiophenol and m-dichlorobenzene, a m-bis(phenylmercapto)benzene crude product can be obtained as a fraction at 220° C.-230° C./5 Torr.
