The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for producing a homo-
coupling reaction product, whereby it becomes possible to substantially eliminate the use of an
organic solvent, to carry out a reaction under a mild reaction condition by a simple reaction operation, to use a broad range of organic
halogen compounds as starting materials, to produce a
reaction product within a short time with high yield, and to produce a
reaction product having a higher molecular weight. As a solution for the problem, a method for producing a homo-
coupling reaction product of an organic
halogen compound represented by formula (I): A1-Xm (wherein A1 represents any one of an m-valent
aromatic hydrocarbon group which may have a
substituent, an m-valent aromatic heterocyclic group which may have a
substituent, an m-valent heterocyclic group which may have a
substituent, an m-valent
aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may have a substituent, and an m-valent unsaturated
aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may have a substituent; X represents any one of a
chlorine atom, a
bromine atom and an
iodine atom, in which, when there are a plurality of X's, the X's may be the same as or different from each other; and m represents the number of X's and is an integer of 1 or more) is provided, in which the organic
halogen compound represented by formula (I) is reacted by a mechano-chemical method in the presence of a
nickel catalyst under the following condition (a) and / or the following condition (b). Condition (a): the amount of a
solvent to be used is 0.8 mL or less relative to 1 mmol of the organic halogen compound. Condition (b): a hetero-atom-containing compound is present.
