Organic Chlorinations?
Hello! I am just getting into organic chem, and wanted to know if any of you had some good chlorination experiments to try.

I personally liked the radical chlorination of toluene. It chlorinates the methyl group to yield the mono, di, or tri substituted compound. All of
these are fairly useful compounds. I believe there is something on this subject under the prepublication form. Research the subject yourself to find
out some more information and probably reactions you may be more interested in.

Acyl chlorides
converting carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides, then reducing the acyl chloride to yield the mono-chlorinated methyl or even aldehydes.

chlorination of acetic acid
i was looking around for this as for making nitromethane, which can seemingly be done by sodium chloroacetate and sodium nitrite
chloroacetic acid is reacted with sodium hydroxide to get sodium chloroacetate, by what i remember
although its toxic

Anyone have any tips on the exhaustive halogenation of a methyl ketone in basic conditions? (haloform reaction)

Search the forum for trichloromethane (chloroform) synthesis. It is a fairly simple reaction and has been discussed here many times.
Another beginner friendly reaction would be chlorination of benzyl alcohol to benzyl chloride with excess concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Benzyl alcohol can quite simply be made from an Sn2 reaction of benzyl chloride with some kind of hydroxide. Benzyl chloride can be made from the
chlorination of toluene
