Here, I will synthesize Chloroform.
Warning: Chloroform is a dangerous solvent. I cannot be held responsible for any injuries.
First, chill 150mL of Acetone ((CH3)2CO) and A 3/4 gallon jug of bleach (NaOCl) in the freezer. After these are as cold as possible, add the Acetone to the Bleach slowly. The cap should then be added, and the jug shaken. Drain of all of the water, and on the bottom there will be chloroform (CHCl3). This should be separated out with a separatory funnel, then added to a beaker. Anhydrous Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) should be added and stirred until the product is dried. Finally, add 1mL of Ethyl Alcohol (C2H5OH) and add to a lightproof bottle. This will prevent aerial oxidation/decomposition to phosgene (COCl2).
The overall reaction is 3 NaOCl + (CH3)2CO ⇒ CH3COONa2 + CHCl3 + NaOH
