And the best advice to be had was "go to a chemical supply". Sorry, not my cup of tea.
As for other methods, I am just realizing these possibilities. However, the benzene side still seems to be the major issue. By going through benzyl cyanide, or Maybe benzonitrile, from benzaldehyde or some such thing, benzene can be avoided. However, this seems to be far from a simple matter still. So I don't think I deserved that, and if I did, perhaps the one who yielded results so quickly could post or PM them. Seeing as how I couldn't find anything.
