Transparent liquid. Boiling point 128-129°C (1.6 kPa), relative density 1.346, refractive index 1.6055.
Chloromethyl 4-chlorophenyl sulfide was used to study the solvolysis of chloromethyl phenyl sulfide [(phenylthio)methyl chloride] and its p-chloro-derivative in a wide range of hydroxylic solvents. It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of (4-chlorophenylthio) methyl acetate. It was used as alkylating reagent in microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-amino-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives.
