Synthesis Of Benzyl Chloride from Benzyl Alcohol
In this video, I prepare Benzyl Chloride, an Aryl Halide. The procedure I am doing is a simple acid chlorination of the aromatic alcohol Benzyl Alcohol.
This compound can be used to prepare a Grignard Reagent, it can be cross coupled with acrylates, thus it can be used as an arylating agent.
Another interesting reaction which I just found out about after completing this video is The Sommelet Reaction. This reaction yeilds Benzaldehyde in what's described as "good yeilds" whatever that means. Caviat Emptor I'm sure. (1)
======================================================
1.Nature International Journal of Science:
IN 1913 Sommelet1 observed that when the quaternary compound from benzyl chloride and hexamine is heated in water, or in aqueous alcohol, it is converted in good yield to benzaldehyde. This reaction has become general for the preparation of aromatic aldehydes. Sommelet isolated methylamine as a by-product, and suggested that the reaction mechanism is such that the quaternary compound first hydrolyses to methylene-benzylamine, which then isomerizes to benzylidene methylamine ; and that the benzaldehyde and methylamine are derived from the hydrolysis of the latter

DANGER: Fuming Nitric Acid is incredibly dangerous! The reasons will become apparent in this video. Do not try this at home if you're not aware of the dangers and safety protocols necessary.
I made this video after making a small amount of Fuming Nitric Acid. I originally wasn't planning to upload it, but I thought you all might want to see it.You know... because fire.
