Quote: | Sulfuryl chloride isn't a dehydrating agent, but a chlorinating agent. It decomposes to chlorine and SO2. | It
depends on conditions; SO2Cl2 will convert triphenylphosphine oxide to triphenylchlorophosphonium chloride, which was what inspired me in this case.

Unless you know the reaction won't proceed you're not telling me anything I don't know by paraphrasing Wikipedia. I'm well aware of the reactivity of
P2O5 but that doesn't mean there isn't anything that will dry it; rather, anything that will dry it is too expensive to be practical.
