Barbituric Acid : Organic synthesis

[@yashrawat5071]

I never liked Chemistry during my JEE preparation. I don't know by what luck i discovered your's and a lot of Chemistry Channels at just the right time and it ignited my "passion" for the subject seeing the beauty and intricacies of synthesis chemistry.
I ended up scoring more in Chemistry (89/120) than Maths (86/120) and got an AIR of 127 this year

I dropped out and became self taught after my GED. I've alway loved all of the sciences, but for some reason I was never interested in chemistry. Then, about 15 years ago I was watching the Khan Academy videos on o-chem, and suddenly had an episode of synesthesia where each of the alkanes become a specific color. It wasn't just an association. It's like in my mind, it literally WAS the color, for lack of better explanation. I remember methane was a bright yellow, ethane was a tuquois green, I forget propane, butane was a dark navy blue, and pentane was a red color. I don't normally get synesthesia, so it caught me off guard. But holy crap did it make the videos interesting to watch. It persisted for about 2 weeks until it finally stopped. And by then, I was hooked.
Probably the strangest way anyone can get interested in a subject. But that's just par for the course for me.

Im glad that you were successful this time, seems this prep can be unpredictable. I still have some BA unfiltered in the fridge from weeks ago...

[@generalingwer4341]

Nice job.the color really reminds me of piperine.

[@science_and_anonymous]

The reason the product didn't crash out is that you had far too much ethanol still in the solution, keeping the BA solubility high. If you were to distill off the ethanol you would've been left with a product. Hope you kept those solutions.

[@vibzzlab]

I have the solution. I have not disposed it

[@uveshrinchhdi8511]

Can you plz synthesis methylene blue dye🙌🏻

[@palissandroeldiablo]

did you synthesize barbituric acid or barbital? Where did you order the reagents and where did you perform the experiment? Notice: I am only interested in the scientific synthesis of the compound, for no other than educational purposes.

[@taidhgcampbell-mansfield7235]

He made barbituric acid, you need diethyl diethyl malonate as a reactant instead of diethyl malonate in order to get barbital, but you'd do exactly the same thing as this to make barbital (or any barb) - it all depends on the diethyl malonate ester as to what you get

[@antejl7925]

Thanks

[@Issveinn]

I would have put the sodium metal slowly into the ethanol not vice versa and I don´t understand why you left the last piece of sodium in the solution while you pour the malonate in the flask...but otherwise great synthesis.

[@Pro-jy2dt]

Wow, fantastic

[@palissandroeldiablo]

sorry, but what oil did you use for the oil bath? And how did you mount the condenser for the 8 hour reaction?How did you do the recrystrallization?

[@experimental_chemistry]

Nice.

[@sundance8623]

How would you get the barbituric acid to be a pharmaceutically active compound ?!?!

[@BengalGecko]

Synthesis of diethyl barbituric acid from barbituric acid.

[@sundance8623]

So one would start with diethyl malonate, instead of malonic acid...?the difference of pharmaceutically active barbital v.s. the mere inactive barbituric acid?

barbecue acid

[@sohildobariya2328]

What's the sodium vilurate?

[@vibzzlab]

Do watch the video on sodium violurate which is already uploaded

Cool
