Dichloromethane → 1-Chloromethyl-3-methylsulfanylbenzene

3-Hydroxymethyl-1-methylthiobenzene (3.3 g, 21 mmol) is dissolved in absolute CH2Cl2 (20 ml) under an argon atmosphere. A solution of SOC12 (2.6 g, 21 mmol) in absolute CH2Cl2 (10 ml) is added dropwise with stirring to this initial mixture in the course of 15 min, initially under reflux, then at an internal temperature of 30° C. The reaction mixture is stirred under reflux for 2.25 h. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the oily crude product is purified by bulb tube distillation (7.9×10−2 mbar, 125-140° C.): colorless oil; yield: 3.3 g (88%)
