Abstract

The invention concerns a method for preparing aromatic diphenyl thioethers. More particularly the invention concerns the preparation of 4-chloro-4′-thiomethyldiphenylether. The inventive method for preparing an aromatic diphenyl thioether is characterised in that it consists in reacting in an aqueous medium a diazonium salt of an aromatic diphenyl compound with a disulphide sulphur compound, in the presence of an efficient amount of a coupling catalyst.
