Chloro(2-thienylmethyl)magnesium, or TP-MeMgCl, or 2-thiophenylmethylmagnesium chloride is made from 2-(chloromethyl)thiophene. It's a grignard reagent and an intermediate that can be reacted with acetonitrile to form TP2P (ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone). Then Molecular Formula
C5H5ClMgS

Tony: I synthesized Chloro(2-thienylmethyl)magnesium by reacting 2-(chloromethyl)thiophene with magnesium turnings in diethyl ether. I replaced the diethyl ether with dibutyl ether and reacted it with acetonitrile and hydrolyzed it with hydrochloric acid to yield TP2P (ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone)
A sleeping disease where people stand up when withdrawing money infront of an ATM caused by flies that bite in 3s
The flies never come in 4s and they don't have problems mating since the third one is never interested in sex

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.
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!"
