PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for producing a halogenated hydrocarbon or a carbon halide of a medium chain length, especially polyfluorocarbon halides at low cost. SOLUTION: A compound represented by the general formula X-R1Y (1) (wherein, X denotes H, F, Br or I; Y denotes Br or I; and X and Y may be each same or different and denote each a 1-18C hydrocarbon, a-18C halogenated hydrocarbon or a 1-18C carbon halide) is reacted with a 2-19C olefin compound in the vapor phase in the presence of an inert gas under irradiation of light to provide the halogenated hydrocarbon or carbon halide of the medium chain length represented by the general formula X-R2-Y (2) (wherein, X and Y are each same as defined above; and R2 denotes a 3-20C linear or branched hydrocarbon, a 3-20C halogenated hydrocarbon or a 3-20C carbon halide).
