METHOD OF PRODUCING COMPOUND HAVING BUTADIENE SKELETON CONTAINING HYDROGEN AND FLUORINE AND/OR CHLORINE

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for conveniently and industrially producing at low cost, a compound having a polyene skeleton and containing hydrogen and fluorine and/or chlorine. Provided is a method for producing a halogenated diene represented by formula (1), A1A2C=CA3-CA4=CA5A6 [in the formula, A1, A2, A5, and A6 independently represent hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, a C1-3 (perfluoro) alkyl group or (perfluoro) alkenyl group, A3 and A4 independently represent hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, at least one among A1-A6 represents hydrogen, and at least one among A1-A6 represents fluorine or chlorine], the method comprising a step for subjecting identical or different halogenated olefins represented by formula (2), A7A8C=CA9X [in the formula, A7 and A8 independently represent hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, a C1-3 (perfluoro) alkyl group or (perfluoro) alkenyl group, A9 independently represents hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, and X represents bromine or iodine], to a coupling reaction in the presence of a zero-valent metal.
