title: Synthesis of methanesulfonyl chloride (MSC) from methane and sulfuryl chloride.
abstract: Methane is transformed selectively to methanesulfonyl chloride at low temperature by liquid-phase reaction of methane with SO(2)Cl(2) in the presence of a free radical initiator and a promoter using 100% H(2)SO(4) as the solvent.
