Choose the starting reagents: benzyl chloride and a solvent (water). Note the color of the solution.
Return to the lab and place the flask on the stir plate. No other set up is required. You will monitor the reaction on the pull down TV and with TLC. Run a TLC sample before you start the reaction. Some reactants may not show up on TLC so make sure that you notice the contents of the reaction vessel on the TV. Note the time on the laboratory clock. Start the reaction by turning on the stir plate. Advance the laboratory clock by an interval of 1 minute and take another TLC sample and check the TV. Repeat this step until you note the appearance of product on the TLC plate or on the TV. Note the time and the size of the TLC spot and the name of the product. Continue to advance the clock in 1-minute intervals. Take a TLC sample and check the TV at each interval. You may choose to sample at less frequent intervals if the reaction seems to be proceeding slowly. Note the time that the reaction is complete. (The starting material will no longer be present in the reaction vessel as indicated on the TV or the TLC sample). Note the color of the solution.
Clean up the lab bench.
Repeat the procedure with 2-chloro-norbornane and then tertiary butyl chloride as starting reagents.
