It is obtained from o-chlorotoluene by photo-chlorination: heating o-chlorotoluene, phosphorus trichloride, and thionyl chloride to 150 ℃, and applying chlorine to a theoretical amount under ultraviolet light irradiation (about 4.2kg of chlorine per kilogram of o-chlorotoluene). The finished product is then distilled under reduced pressure to collect the 101-103°C (1.33kPa) fraction.
