The following reaction is another method to synthesize haloalkanes using reagents other than PBr₃ and SOCl₂. Propose an arrow-pushing mechanism that rationalizes the production of chloroalkane in the given reaction. (Hint: Begin by reacting dimethyl sulfide and Cl₂. DMS is an excellent nucleophile, whereas Cl₂ is an electrophile.)
