Method of producing fluorine-containing sulfide compounds

The present invention aims to provide a method by which fluorine-containing sulfide compounds, particularly sulfide compounds that contain hydrogen and fluorine, can be produced in a simple, low-cost and industrial manner. Provided is a method of producing a fluorine-containing sulfide compound represented by the following formula (2):(F)n-A3-S-A4-(F)m (2)(wherein A3 and A4 are independently an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl group with a carbon number of 1 to 3; n and m represent the numbers of fluorine atoms binding to A3 and A4, with n+m=1 to 13 being satisfied), comprising reacting a chlorine-containing sulfide compound represented by the following formula (1):(Cl)n-A1-S-A2-(Cl)m (1)(wherein A1 and A2 are independently an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl group with a carbon number of 1 to 3; n and m represent the numbers of chlorine atoms binding to A1 and A2, with n+m=1 to 13 being satisfied) and a fluorinating agent.
