can chloromethane be oxidised to get chlorine

Whether you want direct conversion or two continuus reactions are OK

Beware :I didn't Oxidized ChloroMethane, substance getting oxidising is different that is Hydrogen.
And There is no reaction in which you can oxidize chloromethane to obtain Elemental Chlorine.
That why to obtain Chlorine, I oxidized Hydrogen in Electrolysis.
Yes, we obtain Chlorine from ChloroMethane but that will be carried out by two step reactions.
Steps :
1) ChloroMethane will undergo SN2 Reaction in NaI/ acetone as Solvent.
This will obtain NaCl as inorganic product as PPT.
2) Then, we will produce Elemental Chlorine by electrolysis of NaCl Brine Solution
For Reactions see pic.
