Hobby chemistry in a nutshell: "This synthesis uses A, B, C, D and E. The first four can be easily bought, but E needs to be distilled from F and G. F can be bought but G can be made by reacting H with..." Awesome to see you work through all these prerequisites throughout various videos though.
@@kadergumus2598 Now you need a different A, B, and C. A and B are about 50 cigarettes each, but C can only be purchased with stamps, so you need to synthesize D to sell for stamps. To get D, you can either have a guard smuggle it in, synthesize it with B, E, and F, or recruit some fellow inmates to acquire it from some other inmates. YMMV though; my yields have not been great.
That's what makes it so fun! lol. I started amateur organic chemistry as a hobby, and I'm pretty surprised at how many of the "restricted" chemicals can easily be made from the non-restricted chemicals with the proper safety setup and procedure.
If you consider the 85% expected yield, times two recrystallizations… 100x.85=.85 first pass .85x.85=.72 second pass So a theoretical 72% compared to the 70% actual is negligible.

Dibenzylidineacetone (DBA) is actually used to stabilize Palladium(0) in the form of Pd2dba3.CHCl3 which is useful for a number Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.
does anyone know why pd(oh)2/c might be a better catalyst than pd/c for carbonyl compounds such as esters and acids? i'm assuming it might have something to do with h-bonding
I remember while in the police academy, for 6 months I was staying up all night writing memos and I successfully watched every video you ever posted while I was writing. I love your videos brotha
I did this reaction in my organic chemistry lab class, and I used almost the same method you used in this video, although with some small variations. Our benzaldehyde and ethanol was analytical grade, and we purified our acetone (technical grade) through distillation (to remove water contamination and other impurities). That could explain why you had that initial cloudiness in benzaldehyde, probably your benzaldehyde was not so pure. To recrystallize the product we used the first method you used, hot ethanol (in the right amount to dissolve all the product), then we added room temperature water (while ethanol was still hot) until complete cloudiness occurred and then we cooled down the solution in an ice bath. Eventually we vacuum filtered the precipitate and dried it in the oven. My yield was 78,2% of raw product, 73,9% of target molecule (we analyzed it through GC-MS and UV-VIS). Not the best but I'm still and undergraduate so totally fine for me. My guess is, as you already aknowledged in the video, that you used too much ethanol and much of the product was still in the liquid phase, though your yield was not bad at all.
I don't remember what our yield was exactly, but I do recall our MP analysis showed that we had a higher percentage of trans,cis and cis,cis stereoisomers than the reaction might typically produce, though trans,trans was still the primary stereoisomer :)
I love watching your videos when I’m stressed out it helps me put my focus on something else and they are so relaxing to watch idk why😅I’m so happy I found them!
When I did the synthesis, it actually went nearly like the clock reaction you mentioned. I dont know why does it happen, but it is pretty cool. I add the acetone and then stirr, and suddenly a ton of stuff falls out of solution after like 60 seconds and the content goes from light yellow to brown-orange and looses transparecy. Really interesting.
In my research lab, we usually have a designated hood with aluminum foil completely covering the window, and protective eye wear when using UV light. Make sure you be careful, because it can mess up your eyes really bad even when used for a short amount of time.
Convert PET to terephthatalic acid and ethylene glycol! It's a simple de-esterification but it would be interesting seeing how you would get the PET to react with it being an insoluble solid at room temperature
Some of the benzaldehyde tried to precipitate out when it came into contact with the bit of water in the ethanol. The molecules quickly re-arranged themselves and dissolved in the ethanol afterwards.

The bittering additives are usually in the ppm range. The rest of the 5% is generally water generated from the distillation process (ethanol forms an azeotrope with water at 95%). So, the 5% really isn't a huge concern. I'm sure if, after recrystallisation, the product was put on a high-vacuum line at RT for 24 h and a proton NMR taken the only residual protons that would be seen are from the ethanol and from water. The additives won't even be detectable.
If you put a vial of dibenzyl acetone on a zinc sulfide screen and exposed it to UV, do you think you could see a "shadow" in the phosphorescence? You could compare to a blank vial of solvent, a sample of commercial sunscreen...
i find it hilarious watching how his content has slowly shifted from educational and tutorials into entertainment, not because he no longer makes educational tutorials, but because the tutorials are so ridiculous nobody watches them with the intention of following along 😭

Great as usual. However, I did notice one error: the reaction you give for the synthesis should produce two water molecules, not one. Also, since you said that crystallization needs to be slow in order to be effective, and your failed first attempt apparently took a while, what do you think about your second one producing much better results after just three minutes?
The reason why I watch these videos when I should make homework is because I use it as an excuse to not make it and I justify it to myself because it makes me smarter. Jk. The REAL reason I watch these videos because the colors and pretty powders makes my brain give me dopamine
I would love to ask something... I went through few laboratories at our university and we never put the watchglass on a beaker during recrystallization... The true is, that it was almost forbidden to use beakers for reactions, heating and so on... We could use it just for our solutions of acids, bases and salts. We were using just flasks for almost everything. I just want to ask, why there should be watchglass during recrystallization... Thank you for answer :)
Lol I love how many people watch his videos theyre literally just chemistry yet so entertaining, maybe Im a bit of a nerd and love cience related content but most science channels dont get this many views I feel like
How do the UV absorbing capabilities compare between the trans-trans, cis-trans, and cis-cis stereoisomers? Does one make a better sunblock than another?
How about some substances that change their properties when exposed to UV light? E.g. change their colour, or get hard, or becoming more conductive/resistive to electricity, or more/less soluble in water or some other solvent?
I am doing a research on the synthesis of dibenzalacetone, do you still have your sources? if so could you please share? Thank you for the video anyways
In my opinion the crystalization did not work because at the vacuum filtration point you did not wash the product with ethanol-ecatic acid mixture and you got an oily mixture at the crystalization point. I am a student and in our lab it is a typical problem when somebody skips the ethanol-ecatic acid washing step.
You should do a video on the easiest way to get very pure NH4ClO4. Amateur rocketry guys often don't have the chem knowledge to make it, so we use oxidizers that you can buy in OTC products like KNO3.

Having lower yield than expected due to multiple recrystalizations is kind of a running theme in your videos, I love it
That's actually a pretty common problem with chemistry.
You always get a lower yield when you want very pure products.
@George I. Klapsides I'm no chemistry expert myself but I think it's something to do with removing contaminations
@@bowel_movement nile red has a whole video about recrystallizations. And your correct

SPF 3 is a common absorption level for stuff like lip balm, so it’s not that bad
dibenzalaceton irritates skin tho - its used in yellow shades instead
To avoid canizaro reaction , you can mix the aldehyde and acetone then add the base slowly, so base attacks the acetone which attacks the aldehyde
In my research lab, we usually have a designated hood with aluminum foil completely covering the window, and protective eye wear when using UV light. Make sure you be careful, because it can mess up your eyes really bad even when used for a short amount of time.
