Abstract:
A process for producing an episulfide compound for an optical material of the present invention includes a step of chlorinating glycerin to obtain dichloropropanol; a step of epoxidizing the dichloropropanol to obtain epichlorohydrin; a step of reacting the epichlorohydrin with a sulfating agent to obtain a bis(chlorohydrin) (di)sulfide compound thought a thiol compound; a step of epoxidizing the bis(chlorohydrin) (di)sulfide compound under basic conditions to obtain an epoxy compound; and a step of reacting the epoxy compound with a sulfating agent to obtain an episulfide compound represented by following General Formula (1): wherein, in the formula, n represents 0 or 1.
