China and the United States are the leading exporters of sulfuryl chloride (CAS 7791-25-5), collectively accounting for over half of global exports in recent years, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the largest importing markets. Import volumes into the European Union and Southeast Asia have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on sulfuryl chloride prices amid tightening supply chains and increased demand from agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturing.
Sulfuryl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, acrid odor and high volatility; it has a boiling point of 69.1 °C and a melting point of –54.1 °C. It is an inorganic chlorosulfonating agent and reactive sulfur-containing compound. Industrially, it serves primarily as a chlorinating and sulfonating reagent in organic synthesis, especially for converting alcohols to alkyl chlorides and carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides. Its principal applications are in the production of agrochemicals (e.g., herbicides and insecticides), pharmaceuticals (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates), and dyes. It is also used in the synthesis of specialty polymers and functionalized aromatic compounds.
Sulfuryl chloride is used as a chlorinating and sulfonating agent in organic synthesis. It also is used in military gas.
