Disclosed is a method for producing an aromatic compound represented by the general formula (6') below, which is characterized in that a compound represented by the general formula (6) below is reacted with a sulfur compound (at least one member selected from the group consisting of sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, metal hydrosulfides and metal sulfides) or a selenium compound. (In the formula (6), R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a cyano group, a nitro group, an ester group, an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1-18 carbon atoms or the like; R2 represents a halogen atom; (In the formula (6'), R1 is as defined in the formula (6); and X represents a sulfur atom or a selenium atom.)
