Abstract: Preparation of chlorinating reagent or chlorination reaction itself for use in a reaction such as production of high intensity sweetener trichlorogalactosucrose (TGS) from partially protected sucrose, comprising reaction of dimethylformamide (DMF) with thionyl chloride or another sulphur containing inorganic acid chlorides including sulphuryl chloride is faced with a problem of prolific release of gaseous by-products, that at times may lead to violent explosion also.

The chlorinated sucrose derivatives, including TGS, thus isolated are substantially free from most impurities, salts and organic solvents. The process has high recovery of more than 95% in terms of desired chlorinated sucrose derivatives including TGS.
