Method for Chlorinating Alcohols

A process for preparing organic chlorides in which the chlorine atom is bonded to a CH2 group by reacting the corresponding alcohols with thionyl chloride in the presence of a triaylphosphine oxide at a temperature of from 20 to 200° C. and a pressure of from 0.01 to 10 MPa abs, which comprises using the triarylphosphine oxide in a molar ratio to the amount of OH groups to be chlorinated of from 0.0001 to 0.5.
