DJF90: phenylmagnesium bromide might work well in this case; however the mechanism probably would be a little different than you proposed. The first
eq of phenylmagnesium bromide would open the epoxide to form the corresponding chlorophenylpropanoate, this should immediately cyclicize, displacing
chloride, to form 2-(phenylmethyl)-oxirane. This epoxide will react with the second eq of PhMgBr to form 1,3-diphenyl-propan-2-oate.

Yes sorry wasnt thinking straight. I've drawn the mechanism for that reaction (grignard on epichlorohydrin) before as well! Its been a long day. But
yea, I suggest that would be the appropriate way to go, so long as PhMgBr isnt a problem.

There are a couple of examples of Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene derivatives with epichlorihydrin, however the products are Ar-CH2CH(OH)CH2Cl or
bisalkylated products. See: European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 43 (2008) 300-308 (on mesitylene); Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh
Soedinenii (1985) 1319-1321 (bisalkylation of p-xylene). I could find no examples of ArCH2CH(OH)CH2Ar formation, but you could treat the
Ar-CH2CH(OH)CH2Cl with NaOH to form the 3-arylpropene oxide and then do another FC alkylation with it.

Thanks to Nicodem, smuv, and DJF90. 
@Nicodem:
"There are a couple of examples of Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene derivatives with epichlorihydrin, however the products are Ar-CH2CH(OH)CH2Cl
or bisalkylated products."
- As you said, the fact that it stops at the halohydrin isn't too much trouble.
I'll check those refs now... hopefully an excess of benzene should minimize the polyalkylation products in my case.
@smuv and DJF:
I already thought of that idea, but was asking about FC because I was trying to avoid Schlenk-ware use (long story). But I'll fall back on that if FC doesn't pan out.

You shouldnt need schlenk-ware, just normal ground joint glassware. Make the grignard and react it with the epichlorohydrin - the order of addition
shouldnt matter - you should get the product regardless of whether you add the epichlorohydrin to the grignard or vice versa.

How much lithium is in cr2032 battery or any of the cr batteries?
This can be calculated and if someone could find the mg of lithium per mAh it would be greatly appreciated

These pieces of information are easily available from common references:
Electrons per mole (1 Faraday (not a farad))
Atomic weight of Li
Number of electrons lost when Li is oxidized
Coulombs per Faraday
1 A = 1 Coulomb /sec
mA in 1 A
seconds in 1 hour
The rest is arithmetic and/or algebra

is this correct?
cr3032 has 500mAh = 0,5Ah
0,5Ah * (60min*60sek) = 1800 coulombs
1800 / 96500 = 0,018653 moles
witch is in lithiums case ~ 130mg

Does anyone know if phosphorus pentoxide attacks glass t temepratures of 250C? I am planning to make a small amount (10mL) of the chemical, by heating
P4O10 with NaCl, where POCl3 will be formed at 250C (Gmelin).
I know polyphosphoric acids will attack it, but does P4O10 (with ofcourse traces of polyphosphoris acids present , because the oxide is so incredibly
hygroscopic.

According to Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook (see References section under Chemical Engineering books for links to access the 7th and 8th
editions), chapter 23, glass is slowly attacked by H3PO4, at a concentration of about 35%, from about 300ºF (149ºC) upwards; and attacked more
rapidly by concentrations greater than about 35% at about 400ºF (204ºC). I presume that laboratory borosilicate glass, which is somewhat alkaline,
is meant; ordinary soda bottle glass would be even more rapidly attacked.

Oh yes, I expect the P4O10 to react with the alkaline glass to form pyrophosphates of sodium. The orthosilicate in the glass easily can give off an
oxygen which is taken up by P4O10. Four of such oxygens then can lead to formation of P2O7(4-) ions.
The reaction will not be so fast that your glass is eaten away in a single run, but it will become opaque. You could try the synth and keep that
etched piece of glassware for other such etching reactions (reactions involving fluoride or hydrazine-based reactions at elevated temperatures).

In that case I will use cheap glassware. Maybe even a test tube, wich is bent, just like in the synthesis of phosphorus. I think that if I heat
slowly, most POCl3 will condense in the other side of the test tube. This is because POCl3 boils quite high, and even if you heat one part of a DURAn
test tube very strongly, the other part remains cool. But heating should be slow, so the vapour cannot greatly heat that side of the test tube.
Now i really need some glasswool, to close the test tube. Because i think POCl3 will just chlorinate the OH-groups on cotton wool.
Should be good to preapre about 10mL in a few runs, I hope, wich is enough for my experiments.
Whemn I try, i will post the results.

Hydroflouric acid
A safety inspector that was looking over my lab told me that hydroflouric acid was a watched chemical, but he couldn't say why... thought it was some
sort of explosive.
Anybody know what that was about? I'm not in the 'cooking' scene, but I've read parts of the Rhodium archive ... there's a lot of interesting
chemistry there ... but never come across requirements for large amounts of HF.

Because it is used in the synthesis of nerve agents like sarin. Here sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride, are also watched, although small
quantities (less than 250g) is no problem.

Soxhlet Extractor
Thimbles are expencive for Soxhlet extractors.
Will they still work if you bung up the hole with cotton wool instead of a thimble?

I have a couple related questions that should not be to hard.
Question one what temperature does an Ethyl alcohol flame burn at
Question two: How would I beef up the energy and temperature of something like an alcohol lamp. I have considered using a mix of Nitromethane/MeOH
like that used in RC cars but better judgement says not to. Any suggestions on a fuel source other then denatured alcohol which is only getting a
steady reading with my Pyrometer of 900 degrees F which seems quite low to me(its a bit chilly outside as well though).

35% H2O2 is all I have and I don't know if it would be enough to balance the lose of heat associated with the H2O being present in the mixture. Im
still thinking about the Nitromethane more now and just diluting it a bit more from the 30% solution down to about 5-10% and seeing how that compairs.
I still have yet to locate the temperature at which EtOH burns and all I keep getting in web searchs is how well alcoholic peoples fat burns in
spontaneous human combustion . God I swear the internet has gone down hill in the
last 8 years.

The answer is to use a larger flame or stop using alcohol and graduate to a bunsen or meker burner. A flame temperature is limited by the enthalpy of
combustion, gas volume produced, how well it is being mixed with oxygen, and flame size (limits heat transfer to the surrounding air).

Its not really a factor of needing to graduate or anything of that nature its just that I used something simular as This to melt lead a few days ago for the reduction of Pottasium nitrate and it got me to thinking of the range of
temperatures that could be achived using different fuels in a simular device. It worked very well and burned for 45 minutes or so on a single charge
which kind of impressed me to say the least.
I was under the impression that there is an upper limit to the temperature at which a specific fuel can burn at assuming complete combustion and is
independent of flame size.

That is correct. It is called as "Adiabatic Flame Temperature".
For a flame (produced by any fuel) that temperature will be way above 900 F or even 900 C.
It seems your problem is not the temperature of the flame but concentrating the flame on to your target.
Remember radiation losses are to the 4th power of absolute temperature of the flame. So if you have a tall and slender flame or multiple small flames
then only a vary small portion of the heat will be delivered to your area of application.
