To cut a long story short, I decided to do some fiddling about with the Etard rxn, and did a nano-scale run using toluene, on the scale of a few hundred mg in total of CrO2Cl2, prepared in situ from conc. H2SO4 dripped onto a mixture of NaCl and ammonium dichromate, yum, tell-tale whiff of benzaldehyde.

Question is, I intend on upping the scale a little, and I am not at all sure how chromyl chloride is going to react on distillation, boiling point is listed at 117 C, although I don't know what, if any temperature it decomposes at, and what is going to happen to plastic tubing it would be distilled through.

Anyone with more experience handling the stuff than I do care to comment? I am more worried about how it will react with the tubing, than anything else, I should be able to distill it over into the recieving flask no problem, but I have no glass tubing, only plastic, at the moment.

Might just have to expose a cm. or so of tubing, and see if it gets raped or not

Interesting way to phrase it. Reminds me of my hold Halo days when I'd completely own people. Some people would call rape on me after I completely slaughtered them. To bad I lost my copy of the game.
