| production method | heating pentane solution of methyl sulfide, adding pentane solution of thionyl chloride dropwise, adding it, heating for several hours, evaporating pentane at normal pressure, continuing distillation, collecting fraction at 104-106 ℃ to obtain chloromethyl methyl sulfide. (The solvent can also be changed to methylene chloride). |
