A method for producing chlorosulfonyl isocyanate by reaction of sulfur
trioxide with cyanogen chloride, wherein chlorosulfonyl isocyanate or a
solution including chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is used as a reaction
solvent, sulfur trioxide and cyanogen chloride which are respectively
diluted with the chlorosulfonyl isocyanate or the solution including
chlorosulfonyl isocyanate are added at the same time to a reaction system
in an almost equimolar amount under reflux. By the production method of
present invention, chlorosulfonyl isocyanate can be produced from sulfur
trioxide and cyanogen chloride in which the yield of the chlorosulfonyl
isocyanate is high, the method has excellent operability, number of
equipments is reduced, and time for controlling the temperature is saved.
