Dichloroborane methyl sulfide complex is synthesized by redistribution of Borane-Dimethyl Sulfide (BMS) and BCl3.SMe2. A mixture containing BHCl2.SMe2 (73%) and BMS, BH2Cl.SMe2, and BCl3.SMe2 is obtained by the reaction of BMS with Ph3CCl.

Dichloroborane methyl sulfide complex is corrosive, air- and moisture-sensitive, flammable liquid; stench. Reacts violently with water. Handle and store under nitrogen or argon. Stable indefinitely when stored  under nitrogen at 25 °C. Destructive to upper respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Handle in a fume hood.
