    Very nice! I synthesized p-Methoxy-Cinnamic Acid from Benzaldehyde via Knoevenagel reaction as part of my undergraduate organic chemistry lab course - I'm specialising in inorganic chemistry, but that synthesis was one of my favourites. This one seems more challenging, at least for getting a good yield, but still very interesting to see!

    Nice job! Glad U R with us. Keep on!
    P.S. Could you please provide a reference to the original synthesis? That would be very helpful.

      Thanks! Unfortunately, the procedure is from a german book called "Organikum" by Heinz Becker. And there's no translation :/

    Sir Can you please make a synthesis of di iodomethane? It is the heaviest organic solvent and it can float an piece of aluminum I think that's why I really like it

    10:08 do you reuse the same cooking oil for other distillations?

    Is a new apparatus swapped or cleaned before the final product? How do you avoid contamination from the previous distillation.

    • @RaExpIn
      @RaExpIn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually, I clean everything with soap and water, then with acetone and at the end with air or just letting it sit over night, before I use it again for the next distillation.

    I recommend using sulfuric acid as the high temperature bath filler. It is horrible to clean the glassware from cooked oil

      Hot sulphuric acid is extremely dangerous ..I'd sooner clean dirty glassware than risk that.

    Have you considered using milder catalysts? Like primary amines?

    • @RaExpIn
      @RaExpIn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It was a general procedure. So, I didn't think about it. Would be worth a try. According to Wiki the yield should be at around 60%.

  • @PepekBezlepek

    that residue tho 🥴 could be cool to try to work it up, might be a mixture of benzoic and cinnamic acid 😊

    • @RaExpIn
      @RaExpIn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually did a few tests on it. As for example reacting it with sodium hydroxide and acid afterwards to precipitate it out.

  • @sankarshanharidasan6751

    The yield could be increased by adding acetaldehyde in parts to a solution of benzaldehyde and alkali.

    Is it possible use Salicylaldehyde instead of benzaldehyde?

    • @RaExpIn
      @RaExpIn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it's a general procedure. As long as there are no other functional groups, the Aldehyde and CH-acidic compound can be substituted by anything and it's highly likely to work.

  • @aribinu8910
    @aribinu8910 ปีที่แล้ว

    Complex synthesis, since it's a challenge to separate benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde, and they are easily undergo oxidation, the yield was so so, 23%
