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.

Benzedrex

A nasal decongestant that contains propylhexedrine. Propylhexedrine is a stimulant that is easier to get than ephedrine and is stronger than ephedrine, though still pretty adrenergic. Benzedrex is inhaled to decongest the nose. When the vapors are inhaled more than a few times early in the morning, it can wake you right up. Benzedrex is sometimes used as a pre-coffee as it gives you the energy and motivation you need to make the coffee and maybe clean things. However, propylhexedrine will show up as a false positive for amphetamine and possibly methamphetamine.
Dude: I inhaled some benzedrex and that made cleaning and making coffee fun.

Benzyl hydride

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.
