Procedure for 18crown6: http://www.orgsyn.org/Content/pdfs/pr...

In this video I am making 1,2bis(2chloroethoxy)ethane using the Appel reaction with carbon tetrachloride and triphenylphosphine. This reaction is relatively uncommon nowadays due to restrictions on carbon tet, therefore I followed my own procedure which I put together from general statements online (due to its simplicity). Afterward, I used this product while following an orgsyn procedure to make 18crown6.
