Dude, nilered was like this in the beginning then went kind of mainstream. Your videos are awesome, no extra fluff, and it's really interesting fairly intense chem. Please keep it up lol.
Idk if you'd consider all the pee videos or making moonshine from paper or gloves is mainstream but okay
@@malcewicz Serio? Um, I've made alcohol from far worse things.
This guy is more informational. I think you can learn with him way more than Nilered. Nile red does make interesting videos and you still learn , but I feel like this channel helps me a lot to incorporate the theory I learned in organic chemistry with the actual lab methods and procedures
@@malcewicz i think he is talking aboutbthose yt shorts nilered makes insteadbof actual videos. In those shorts he tries to act insane, breaking stuff, explosive basically pleasing the basic audience and in the end he can just say "Its Science". I also miss more of his serious research works.
Nilered is like "I became a modern alchemist for 102 minutes straight"
This channel teaches you how to synthesise chemicals like a Chem teacher
This video has it all! TNT precursors for some, freebasing and methylation of amines for others and yellow chemistry for the rest. :D
Oh, using food fridge is generally a very bad habbit. Sometimes there can be something toxic or perhaps a volatile. Cooling with separate cooler, ice or whatever are much better habbits. Mixing food and chemistry can leave to contamination and disasters.
I guess the author is actually aware of it and it was just a joke. Nitro compounds are extremely poisonous; they also pass through the skin easily. Seeing these giant gloves confirms that actually you need to be careful with this thing
@@ЖанибекБекхожин It could have been, but some may not realize it as a joke so it is proper to point out it's a bad habbit.
@@ЖанибекБекхожин NOVICHOK?
aniline ≠ amine

I'm a networking engineer with some pretty heavy understanding of vast subject matters. This fine gentleman has made feel a bit under-educated. Very educational video and MUCH appreciated!
"Becomes a yellow color"
All Explosions and Fire watchers start screaming
I never understood his anti-yellow bias. The worst color for an organic chemist is black, unless you are performing a Pd/C reduction. 😁 But even if it is black you still can often save the day by work-up and FC.
Favourite chem channel for me right now
For some reason, i love mini-equipment procedures
Very nice synthesis :D O really like these one !!
Wish I had mini equipment like that. Would be perfect for experimentation.
Tiny glassware is so cute actually, and the little stir bar🥺🥺
Baby little 3 neck flask was the best part of the video
@@Chemiolis some people also call it a kicker
Nanosynthesis is harder than industrial...in many countries < 9 gr (IS) breaks no law
Nice synthesis. Just FYI, it's better to put your super glue on one surface and the accelerator on the other surface. If you spray the accelerator over the super glue then it starts drying instantly, you want it to dry when the surfaces are pressed together. Also, the accelerator solution you used was kinda weak because the glue should dry almost instantly when you press your two objects together.
Oh my goodness, those mini-equipments are sooooo cute!
I just got this video recommended to me. I wasn’t subscribed, but I am now! I’m very happy I came across your channel. I really liked this project! Great job!
Yeah! My favorite TH-camr brings some more of very cool stuff! What do you want, when you get home after a day of work at the lab? Exactly: watch someone else do that!
That is an adorable three-necked flask.
Really appreciate the videos. Having trouble with the volume though. Have volume up to 100%, but still can't hear well. (and it's not a problem at all with other videos on this computer).
I love this video I been here since the start
I was thinking "aw man I hope he does reductive amination" and of course he delivers.
Great Video, always happy to see some synthesis on youtube.
Ha! I thought super glue activator was acetone! 😂 This is great! I've been so curious about this! ☺️
Acetone is actually pretty nice for removing superglue, especially if you glue your fingers together :/
@@EdwardTriesToScience See how uneducated about chemistry I am? I'm so interested. But I just don't get it. It seems like another language to me. 😊
it was the same for me 2 years back, now I'm studying org chem for fun, if you're interest in something, research it, watch videos on it, read wikipedia, dont let how boring school is discourage you from learning, since if you are interested in something, learning is actually fun
You make great syntheses man! I feel like a good vaccum pump will be very useful thing for you to have.
Thanks, I have one that goes to 20mbar or so, but I need a stronger one tbh
let me see...
I would be interested in mechanism of how this works.. Dimethyl toluidine is also added to methacrylate resin to somehow improve rate of polymerisation. At least with benzoyl peroxide. I have done some experiments with photoinitiators, and there it seems it is not increasing polymerisation rate, but I am not sure why.
In any case please make vid of producing CA glue, I would be extremely interested to see the process.
maybe the photoactivators act catalytic and the penzoyl peroxide is instead consumed in the process of radicalizing MMA?
@@namibjDerEchte with stuff I was messing around with, photoinitiators should form radicals, but papers I have read suggested that there is almost always more than one mechanism in action and we can talk statistically that radical formation is most significant.
Looking again at experimental data with TPO initiator, DMT(dimethyltoluidine) decreased polymerisation rate significantly only when added in excess (4%) 1% and 0.5% had almost no measurable effect but did not increase the rate. Same experiment but with TEA (triethylamine) gave pretty much same figures.
Similar experiment with benzil dimethyl ketal as initiator showed that TEA increased polymerisation rate significantly at 0.5% concentration, but there I have sample size of 1 and testing device was quite iffy in build quality, sooo I would need to repeat whole experiment to speak with any confidence... Also no data for DMT on this experiment
Hi my guys; there are a couple of polymerisation mechanisms for acrylates. With photoinitiators you tend to make radicals but tertiary amines are good bases so they could initiate an anionic polymerisation because the cyanoacrylate anion is pretty stable.
Dimethyl toluidine could actually absorb UV light and so reduce efficiency of photoinitiation. But I'm not 100% on that one, you'd have to check the absorption spectrum.
@@mmmhorsesteaks Makes sense, Thanks for explanation! At least for CA glue. Why it's in MMA+BP resin system is still bit unclear to me...
@@IlusysSystems there is a paper called "Rational Design of Efficient Amine Reductant Initiators for Amine-Peroxide Redox Polymerization" where they propose a mechanism for the acceleration of decomposition into radicals. I found the pdf online but yt doesn't let me post links :-/ hope you can find it!
Great video! Is this what zip-kicker spray is? It has a very strong naptha smell and turns the super glue that same yellowish color
Yes, this is pretty much the same, though the exact formulation differs between brands.
I know nothing about chemistry and get lost pretty much straight away but for some reason these types of videos are interesting to watch . Biggest question is how did they and how long did it take them to figure these procedures and order of steps out
Is the activator less stable types of super glue? It is an interesting video.
It’s supposed to work for every type of cyanoacrylate glue. I think it can be especially handy when the formulation has thickening agent that make the curing slower. The one i used was pure ethylcyanoacrylate.
Next episode: A batch of fentanyl with a $treet value of Mexico's GNP. 🤪
Great stuff! Thanks for the entertaining and educating video, Chemiolis!:)
My 2 cents and girlsplaining: Usually (f.e. with wood or your cardboard) you apply the super glue on one part and the activator on the other, the mating part. Makes sense, or? At least in practical use, where you actually want to glue something together and not instantly "deactivate" the function of your glue before it can do its job ... hehehe:)))
Neow, whatcha gonna wanna do is spray the activator on the other piece of cardboard so it makes contact with the CA glue in place
I'm using this video for when I want to make a dye
i was thinking about diazonium salts when i saw the mechanism
i really like to use a dilute bicarb solution as an activator, it works like a charm, however u have to drip it on the side and contact ur glue sideways to ensure proper adhesion. But from experience it tends to polymerize almost instantly
I do the same, I didn't realize commercial activator was not just bicarb
Very interesting video, maybe you could answer me a question? what temperature do you run the eschweiler clarke reaction?
I see a first step in making my own Tyrian purple! (Dam expensive stuff) , please try 😉

Well
Laughing gas would be awesome too XD
Is there like a convenient library of reactions somewhere? I feel like the hardest part of chemistry is memorizing a bunch of long dead guys' names in association with what the processes or reagents named after them do.
I come from a programming background and if I need a function to do jpeg to bitmap in PERL or 2d discreet Fourier transform in C, it usually takes me about 30 seconds to find the exact code library I need.
-edit
Actually I just googled "put methyl groups on a nitrogen" and it took about that long to find the Eschweiler-Clarke reaction. Its not super clear what conditions are needed, but maybe I've been overcomplicating things. Usually I end up finding google patents or industrial scale chemical reactions that start with "100 bar and 400C" and I don't really read much past that part.
they do exist also for whole synthesis of different compounds but all of i know they are only avaliable for students of universitys :(
well you can pay to get access
Ok nice prepatation video. But what about using just water as an activator?
In University i was always warned to never let the Temperature run away in a Nitration Reaction AS the multiple Nitration would bei very dangerous. I know about TNT, but so you actually have to worry if a Nitration gets hot? What would happen?
Soon enough I feel like you're going to make a video on how to make Methamphetamine
Almost ephedrine.Better use pseudo-efedrine chiral or racemate too
Ephedrine ist dex-oxi-amphetanine so you only have to REDEUCE to grab that oxigene...how ?
Li ist the best in basic scenario
I didn't know the Eschweiler-Clarke methylation worked on aromatic amines... I once tried it on aniline and I only obtained a goo 😭😭 it polymerized
Instead of acetone, heptane can used as the solvent for the dimethyltoluidine. At least I think so - the activator I have is (I think) dimethyltoluidine in heptane.
Also, 12:12 - The problem with doing it like that is that you already instantly hardened the super glue before you had placed the cardboard together. Place them together first, then wet the whole thing with activator.
almost gas or petrol...
Really good video! Great videography and interesting chemistry 🧪
Quite low volume on my laptop (on this video only when compared to others). In a bit noisy environment I really run out of volume at 150% max volume.
Usually i adjust the gain of my voice over audio to increase a few dB and make it louder, unfortunately i was in a hurry and forgot about it this time!
I had no issue. Half volume sounds loud to me. Get a new laptop.
Love your videos but just a suggestion could you normalize your audio levels please...
You are a genius. Can you make a video synthesizing Nα, Nα-Bis(carboxymethyl)-L-lysine from L-lysine? I want to learn about your design idea.
Hi! Is it possible to make N,N dimethylaniline with this method?
Yes the process is the same. It’s even easier since isomers aren’t a problem.
1:55 Is that the kind of red water in TNT production?
Amazing video!!!
I just wanted to make superglue accelerator but I found myself in a fast pace chemistry class 😅 but it was great.
lol this is interestingly close to kevlar synthesis. para aromatic bonds.
industreally they use
1,4-phenylene-diamine (para-phenylenediamine) with terephthaloyl chloride to yield Kevlar polymer
all those hydrogren bonds combined with strong amide bonds, all in a super linear structure coz u start with terephthaloyl di chloride, (1,4 acyl benzine?).
I wonder what polymer you would get if instead of starting with 100% para bonding sites you had like 90% para and 10% ortho. you know like some reaction where the reactant was being formed slowly and so kinetically you would have some ortho and some para product instead of the thermal (nonsteric?) product of all para.
i bet you would have some kind of kevlar that is also stretchy/springy. right now the only elastic kevlar i know of is when they take like 80% kevlar and mix it with 20% nylon/other elastic fiber which imo ruins a lot of the strength/abrasion/heat protection properties of it. like come on dupont just make a new polymer instead of suing other people for patent infringement :p (btw i think kevlar went off patent like a few years ago and u can buy for ultra cheap now... ~5$/sqmeter bulk)
I use vinegar and salt water. It's great. Virtually no chemistry required.
cant you use baking soda to instantly harden superglue
Sodium hydrocarbonate is perfect activator too for cyanoacrylate! Totally green and harmless. Can be applied as fine powder or spayed solution. Easily cleaned up later by washing with just water :D I never understood why people design something complicated. To make money?
Sir would please guide me the accelerator chemical name for acrylic resin
Nice Vid and great content on TH-cam :D
Very good. However, even though it worked as an activator, I think that is very non-specific test for it. Example dry baking soda works also among many things.
wtf putting stuff in the same freezer as food - very naughty
You should see ReactiveChem's picric synthesis, he puts it in his food fridge next to what seems to be a brown paper lunchbag! I would say as long as its not very volatile and nothing on the outside of the beaker and the thing is parafilmed, it should be relatively fine but no way am I storing my fuming nitric acid and bleach in the food fridge
my brother in christ please don't put chemicals in the freezer with food
Very nice
Please try to make video of preparation of para chloro meta xylenol from meta xylene
Looking forward to see this video you are genius
Best 👌 video thanks helpful 👍
As i see lots of chemical reactions essential to use sulfuric acid but i dont understand why it is its very often used in different reactions. Can some one answear ?
Ions
Love the synthesis but man please get yourself some tlc plates. It'll save you a lot of headache doing the reactions and confirming the products. Would love to see more of your videos but it'd be a shame to see you fumble on some basic steps due to not using tlc analysis like nilered. All the best tho and I hope you'll come up with some cool content.
Jeez! So the first step of making this is the same as the first step of making... a slightly energetic compound that rhymes with ENT?! 🙂
I dont think there is acetone, or any solvent in commercially available activators.
I based mine off a commercial variant i found online which stated the exact composition in their SDS. Commonly hydroquinone is also added, but i don’t think it was necessary.
@@Chemiolis hydroquinone is probably just to keep the amine from turning yellow ;)
good old DCM
Or you could just spray some water onto the super glue or better yet dust it with baking soda.
Doesn't always work that well unfortunately
Funny that your tiny flask is 50ml. In my research 50ml is pretty normal, maybe even big. Reagents are expensive!
Definitely, it’s not really that small in general, but for a youtube video the scale is usually much larger because that’s easier to film and see.
@@Chemiolis of course, very understandable. great video
The recipe of TNT 😏
🤫
Rare for me to come as the first commenter!
The product look like a polymer.
Too complicated for "Joe Aveerage" to prepare at home, Don't you have a simpler formula to be made at home as a DIY?
why are you doing all this?
Fun
0:53 since when is RFNA/WFNA highly flammable lol
Supposed to be oxidizing pictogram lmao
@@Chemiolis yeah ik
back off my boy Nile Reds algo and set up
I am all about saving a buck, but it would be much less expensive for me to order an 8oz bottle of Bob Smith Insta Set CA accelerator from Amazon for $11.00. Is this really about making CA accelerator or code for cooking a batch of methamphetamine?
Keep this up and some 1%er motorcycle enthusiasts may seek out your services and make you an offer you will not refuse. They will take care of you, protect you and see that you are happy in your chemistry hobby. It is my understanding that the folks out near Oildale near Bakersfield, California could use a man with your talents and down in Sinaloa, Mexico, chemists are in high demand.
Just kidding with you. Now go learn to surf, watercolor, oil paint, woodwork, freeclimb and you will be true renaissance-man. Shit you probably already know how to play the entire Tchaikovsky catalogue on violin and piano and have mastered differential equations.
Finally, just make sure your mom doesn't eat the yellow snow.
