Chloria

Not to be confused with Cholera, this is an avatar site with a very tiny community. The original owner abandoned the site leaving it to its current one. It had a lot of issues in the transfer and with the first owner, causing a lot of the initial users to abandon the site. The users online rarely breaches ten and you will often find yourself alone. The community and items are nice enough; but the site is pretty much in the process of dying.

The avatar site Chloria should change its name, to sound less like an infectious disease.

Benzyl chloride

Benzyl chloride (BnCl) is a molecule that is a used to make pharmaceuticals and can also be used to make Phenyl-2-Propanone. Benzyl chloride is synthesized from toluene (benzyl hydride) by chlorination with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide as a catalyst. The lithium bromide makes it so that you get benzyl chloride in hours instead of days. Phenyl-2-Propanone is synthesized by adding benzyl chloride in diethyl ether (or even better, dibutyl ether for higher yield) and adding magnesium turnings. You make benzyl magnesium chloride. Then you react it with acetonitrile and then do a hydrochloric acid work-up to get Phenyl-2-Propanone.

I reacted toluene (benzyl hydride, paint thinner) with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide catalyst and got benzyl chloride in a matter of hours.

Sodium Chloride

What Jimmy Neutron calls normal table salt

Jimmy: Just some sodium chloride.
Skeet: Dude, it's called salt
Jimmy: That's what I said, sodium chloride

Chlorine Bath

When, in the summertime, instead of having a regular shower in your bathroom you jump in a chlorine-filled pool to disinfect yourself from the sweat and sunscreen that you've accumulated on your body since the last time you had a shower.

Person 1:"Yo Mon, you going upstairs to have a shower or what?"
Person 2: "Nah man, I'm gunna go have a chlorine bath. I like the way my hair curls after one anyways."

Person 1:"You smell really..clean. Did you have a chlorine bath?"
Person 2:"Yes actually I did, right in my own backyard!"

Chlorine Stinger

The act of having anal sex in a chlorine treated swimming pool. The chlorine levels should be high enough to leave a nice burning sting on the genitals of both parties, although the recipient of the anal sex is typically said to have gotten stung worse than the giver.

The act is not specific to pools, however, as a warm bath treated with a substantial amount of chlorine works just the same.

Missy said she wanted me to give her a chlorine stinger but once she started crying she made me stop and get her an ice pack.

3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl chloride

3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl chloride (MDBnCl; Piperonylchloride; Sesamyl methyl chloride; 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl methyl chloride) is a chemical that is used in organic synthesis. It's melting point is 20.5 °C. It's boiling point is 97-100 ° at 1 mmHg. MDBnCl is used to synthesize other chemicals like MDP2P (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone) and MDP2Bu 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Butanone; 1-(3,4-Methylenedioxy)phenyl-2-butanone via MDBn-MgCl (3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl magnesium chloride) and acetonitrile or propionitrile and HCl acid work-up.

3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl chloride is very useful in the laboratory.

Chlorine Trifluoride

3F2 + Cl2 => ClF3

Gas at room temperature.

Corrosive - burns skin. Fatal if inhaled. Causes serious permanent eye and skin damage. Strong oxidiser - ignites or reacts violently with organic or inorganic combustible substances, including every known fuel as well as human tissue with no ignition delay. It can corrode any substance containing oxygen. Decomposes in water to form a variety of hazardous compounds including Hydrofluoric Acid, which melts metals, semimetals and glass and destroys inner body tissues, leaving outer tissues untouched, rendering symptoms invisible. Hydrofluoric Acid in particular damages the heart, liver, kidneys and nerves.

Reacts with Phosphorus to form Phosphorus Trichloride, which is lethal in just a few minutes in concentrations of 600ppm or higher.

Reacts with Sulphur to form Sulphur Dichloride, which reacts with water to form Hydrogen Chloride, which is corrosive when it reacts with body tissue, causing inflammation of the nose throat and upper respiratory tract and pulmonary edema when inhaled. In contact with the skin, it causes severe burns and causes serious permanent eye damage. Also reacts with Sulphur to form Sulphur Tetrafluoride, that reacts with water to form Hydrofluoric Acid (as Chlorine Trifluoride does) and Thionyl Fluoride, which is irritant to the eyes, skin and respiratory system.

Also known as N-stoff, Nazi rocket fuel and chemical weapon developed exclusively by the SS.

In other words, chlorine trifluoride corrodes, melts or ignites any substance, depending on how much oxygen it contains.

Make chlorine trifluoride by mixing chlorine and fluorine.

Have fun.
