Methanesulfonyl chloride Uses

 Methanesulfonyl chloride (CAS NO.124-63-0) is used to make methanesulfonates and to generate sulfene. It is mainly used for the formation of methanesulfonates from alcohols and a non-nucleophilic base.

Methanesulfonyl chloride Production

Here are preparation, manufacture and handling of Methanesulfonyl chloride (CAS NO.124-63-0): 
 Methanesulfonyl chloride is manufactured either via direct synthesis from methane and sulfuryl chloride in a radical reaction (1):

CH4 (g) + SO2Cl2 (g) → CH3SO2Cl + HCl (g) (1)
other method of manufacture starts with methanesulfonic acid, which is accessible out of methane and sulfur trioxide (2) or by vigorous oxidation of methanethiol (3):

CH4 (g) + SO3 (g) → CH3SO3H (l) (2)
CH3SH + HNO3 → CH3SO3H + H2O + NOx (3)
The methanesulfonic acid prepared is reacted with thionyl chloride (4) or phosgene (5) to form mesyl chloride:

CH3SO3H + SOCl2 → CH3SO2Cl + SO2 + HCl (4)
CH3SO3H + COCl2 → CH3SO2Cl + CO2 + HCl (5)
