chloral hydrate
Did a quick search, and i didnt find anything. Can chloral hydrate be synth'd by bubbling chlorine gas through ethanol under acidic conditions? I was
thinking a simple electrolysis of saltwater to give chlorine gas, and bubbling it through ethanol for a very simple synth. does the ethanol have the
be dry? any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Chloral hydrate?!
A solution of chloral hydrate in alcohol called "knockout drops"
was used to prepare a Mickey Finn.
This recreational drug (Anna Nicole Smith comes to mind)
only yields 10x6 Google hits.

Please don't underestimate the intelligence of the members here or overestimate their patience! If you would have used the search engine you would
have found at least one thread on the topic of direct chlorination of ethanol to chloral. So either you are blatantly lying or you are terribly bad in
using the search engine.
In any case, referenceless threads should be created in the Beginnings section only, where this one goes.
