Chloromethyl methyl sulfide is methylene transfer reagent for iron(II) mediated cyclopropanation and methylthiomethylating reagent for carbonyl and aromatic compounds. Highly reactive, especially with nitrogen bases and sulfur nucleophiles. Toxic effects are due to its alkynation ability on DNA, RNA, and proteins which leads to cell death.
