Get the benwyl mug.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.

Get the Benzyl chloride mug.Related Words
Benzyl hydride (BnH) is toluene. It was commonly found in paint thinners, but now not so much anymore. You can chlorinate benzyl hydride with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide catalyst to get benzyl chloride. It is insoluble in water.
