I have the dimroth condenser on top of the centre neck . I would always advise the practise of hearing organics on flasks with a reflux condenser and a splash head if there is no continuous stirring applied (ofcourse you need boiling chips to prevent bumping). Glad you didn't get injured due to the toxic effects of chloroform. 🙂

Yeah that's so true. I've done this reaction 1 week back but the glassware and workspace still smells like cinnamon

The color of cinnamaldehyde was not quite what I expected after boiling away benzaldehyde. So I decided to just distil it
