Ethyl Chloride

Ethyl chloride (EtCl, Chloroethane), is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3CH2Cl, once widely used in producing tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive. It is a colorless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor. Ethyl chloride is a lab solvent and an intermediate in the synthesis of 2-methyl-2-butanol through the formation of the grignard reagent, ethyl magnesium chloride and a grignard reaction with acetone, followed by hydrochloric acid work-up to yield 2-methyl-2-butanol. Ethyl chloride is synthesized by reacting ethanol with hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride catalyst. Ethyl chloride can also be used along with calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide to extract freebase arecoline out of the betel nut. Then react it with HBr (Hydrogen Bromide) to get Arecoline Hydrobromide.

I reacted ethanol with hydrochloric acid and a zinc chloride catalyst. I got ethyl chloride. I then extracted freebase arecoline from the betel nut and reacted it with hydrogen bromide gas to get Arecoline Hydrobromide.

I took some ethyl chloride and added anhydrous diethyl ether and magnesium turnings to get ethyl magnesium chloride. Then I reacted the Et-MgCl (ethyl magnesium chloride) with acetone. Then I took the 2m2bO-MgCl (2-methyl-2-butoxymagnesium chloride) and reacted it with hydrochloric acid to get 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Chlorinedaddy

The greatest male teenage swimming phenom since Phelps.

David Popovici (aka Chlorinedaddy, skinny legend) broke the world record at 17 in the blue ribbon event of swimming the 100 free. This year he will take a shot at the 200 free world record while going for his own 100 free record.

Chloriballs

When you drop 10 chlorine tabs in the pool filter and leave it for a day then swim in the pool for 4 hours and find your balls have acid burns on them, and you will be doing the waddle walk all day long, this requires at least 4 people to perform, and leads to the quadtroddle walk, another new word. Also bloody water burn balls.

10 chlorine tabs + 4 people + 4hours of usage=chloriballs(bloody balls)

my chloriballs is acting up again

chlorine sharts

After taking a load in your anal cavity after anal sex, and just when you think it is all out, you fart and a pleasant smelling white liquid lines your underpants.

I came so much last night in Jimmy's butt he chlorine sharts in my truck and stained my seat through his pants. Now my car smells like a pool.
