A Witting Reaction of trans-Cinnamaldehyde

Describe and explain the possible effect on your results of the following experimental errors or variations.

a. The lab assistant, thinking chlorobenzene and benzyl chloride are different names for the same compound, put chlorobezene in the benzyl chloride bottle.

b. There was no p-cymene available, so you used toluene instead.

c. You didn't have a magnetic stirrer, so you shook the reaction mixture for a few seconds every minute or so.
