I did this synthesis last week. From 200g of phtalic anhydride (pure p.a., Acros) i got 40 grams of 3-nitrophtalic acid. I took 10g of acid which yielded about 8g (6g after drying in oven) of luminol. All steps were identical, except I used pure sodium dithionite, cause it can be bought over the counter in Poland. Only last step was a bit different - I dumped the sodium dithionite to the solution, brought it to a short boil, and left it to cool. Great video.
Luminol produces a nice blue glow. Your second channel is "creatively called" Nile Blue. I think you should create a NB logo with luminol just like you did in this video with NR.
It is 2:30 am December 2021. I've finished work, made the long drive home and I have chosen this video to watch. It's a 5 year old video at this point with 19 minutes of a pair of hands making a forensic liquid because I remembered how cool it looked on CSI.
I follwed this procedure and was able to get 1.33 grams of luminol in my chem class, thanks nile red. But the oxidation didn't work out for me cause of lab misinterpreting ferricyanide with ferrocyanide so had to use bleach for that. I loved this experiment.
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a video presented by someone that knows what they’re talking about, is clear and concise without the unnecessary theatrics you see when people are trying to turn themselves into a social media personality and/or sell you something. I definitely would be open to more detail/instruction on the reaction mechanisms.
I've just discovered your channel and I'm completely blown away. This is proper hands on chemistry, a clear demonstration of various chemical reactions resulting in a variety of products using simple language that is accessible to anyone. In chemistry classes these days it feels like so much time is spent trying to get students to think in abstract terms about theory that they rarely if ever get to experience genuine practice. In my opinion this approach to learning is backwards; you shouldn't try to teach someone to do something before you do it, you should walk them through and SHOW them the process in action, and then seek to explain it in detail!
I'm no chemist, but what I do know from other endeavors is that having your thermometer directly in contact with your beaker during heating might not be the best idea. It has to introduce some variance due to the thermal nature of the glass. I'd think you would want the business end of the thermometer in contact with nothing but the solution you're monitoring. I guess since there is a temp. range in this reaction it isn't that critical... But I've found that using best practices habitually ends up being better in the long run.
Sodium dithionite is only metastable and rapidly decomposes in acid. My guess is the household version has the bicarb as a stabilizer. That's also why you get it as a possible range. Even the chem suppliers sell it as such and you usually use an excess. Again, nice hands NileRed. Mechanism is off, consider the first step going through the anhydride of the diacid (made by dehydration under the high heat). Second addition would also go through an anhydride or ester amide intermediate (from your glycerol or a dimer of the acids). Excellent demonstration.
Some quick questions about this synthesis: 1) Why did you use acetate to free the hydrazine? Wouldn't hydrazine (bp 114 C) boil off before the acid (bp 119 C) does? Chloride seems like it would accomplish the same goal, except it is even easier to obtain and has a lower boiling point. It also seems like the acetic acid and hydrazine might have potentially reacted to acetylhydrazide, hurting your yield. 2) Why was the nitro reduction done after the hydrazide was formed? The basic conditions are capable of hydrolysing hydrazides.
I had to synthesize luminol for my final practical assignment in my oragnic chemistry lab last semester! The chemiluminescence lasted quite a while and was super bright! I got a good grade too :)
Basic solutions: the tears of a person who's Pumpkin Spice Latte order was wrong Or The blood of a person who cut themselves with their exact-o knife when opening their slime package Both of these have a pH of around 14 Enjoy your basic life
I make my boiling stones out of broken glassware. I just take a broken beaker, or flask and smash it into 1-2 inch pieces; then I heat it, in a torch flame, until it is amorphous and then crimp it with pliers. I repeat this procedure until it looks like a lumpy sphere and then heat it a bit more to polish any edges. It is a pretty cost effective use of damaged glassware, which we all have more of than we would like =/
Ah, the old heating the test-tube with a heat gun trick. Had to do a diphenylacetylene and then hexaphenylbenzene synthesis recently which involved exactly that, except with little to no solvent.
I have read the masks which drop down for emergencies on a jet are a chemical reaction to produce oxygen. I would love to see a reaction which produces "potable" oxygen.
@NileRed great interesting video, maybe i'll try it myself..... something else i wanted. You're using mainly magnetic stirer that means you don't have to have boiling stones but from my experience it's better to have boiling stones. Mainly for destilations and methods where is required lot of heat. My magnetic stir hotplate is not efficent as yours because of that i'm using old ETA spiral hotplate (slovakian thing) , it's capable of much higher temperatures (sometimes really crazy) as my magnetic stirer. Well in that case i need boiling stones. At school we're using broken porcelain plates but i personaly prefer ceramic filtration rolls from aquarium filter because they don't react and have much more surface than porcelain fragments. Thanks that i can use much higher temperatures without bobbling out.
The best boiling stones on the planet that work perfectly every single time are small the regular chunks of PTFE. Do it I did simply go down to a metal supplier as most sell Plastics to and buy a scrap junk of Teflon and cut it up. I use the bandsaw cuz I have one but you could use a little hacksaw or anything it just chop it up clean them in hot sulfuric acid and you're done. On the bandsaw I made about 2 cups worth of tiny 5 mm Square boiling stones in probably less than 10 minutes. I've have never had a bump since
Back in the early 1970's when I was in junior high school there was an (I'm guessing 1950's vintage?) chemistry experiments book in the school library that had a whole chapter on Chemiluminescence. It gave multiple formulas including this same one, and several others such as a deep red light made using Pyrogallol. As sources for the chemicals it listed Kodak, and also a Varniton Company located in Burbank California as I recall. Some other experiments shown were making pyrophoric lead, and dissolving cellulose then extruding Rayon. I'm just giving a couple examples from memory to see if maybe this rings a bell with anyone that may have the book or know the title and publisher info? I've always wanted to find a copy of this book, or to at least get a photocopy of it. Does anyone know of it? Thanks in advance.
Not that palladium on carbon is easy to come by, but in theory, you could have used hydrazine sulfate to reduce the nitro group as well, but as I've never run such reactions in glycerol, I can't say for certain if this could be converted to a 1 pot process.
Got interested in the synthesis playing Trauma Team and thought to myself "NileRed should synthesize and test luminol" then it turns out he already did! What a treat
Buy a cheap ceramic coffee mug, break a few pieces off and crush until the right size, the porous ceramic makes for a good replacement for boiling stones.
Even someone with anaemia still has easily enough iron in her blood to be detectable so while the answer to your question is yes, it wouldn't be noticeable and wouldn't affect detection rates.
hey Nile, I've been wondering- since glowsticks are a chemical reaction can you reverse it or I should say extract the luminal for reuse(if so how difficult would that be). thanks.
TFW you go to watch a video making luminol, then suddenly realize you've stumbled upon the Chemical Avengers entry in some weird chemistry extended universe and now have to watch a dozen other videos to see what you missed.
What other reducing agents do you think would work in the final reduction to make Luminol? Do you think sodium borohydride could reduce the nitro group?
To me it looked like you turned chemicals in to Pepsi, into orangejuice, into egg drop soup, then butter, and ended up with a new mineral foundation called luminol.
I propose a NileRed drinking game: every time he mentions that the he had to transfer the mixture to a larger beaker, drink one shot of tequila; when he mentions he could have done a gravity filtration but chose to do ir faster by using vacuum, two shots; when he mentions the whole thing started to become a nightmare/a disaster at some point, three shots!
Woo! You finally made it! I've been wanting to make Zinc Sulfide to play around with phosphorescence. I tried it the other day and didn't have a black light handy to test it out, but I don't think it worked because it didn't pop like fireworks when it burned (and the product was black).
Thanks you for the information. Now what's the best solution to dissolve meat and bones? I have about 200 lbs of extra turkey left over from tha thanksgiving
If you start at n2h to nh2 before the vacuum pump would you be able to fallow the rest of the step as is or would it turn out a bit thicker or unusable
I feel like your gravity filter is a big source of loss of material, I'm not sure exactly what to use but It always seems like a lot is not scraped out easily.
You have revoked my long gone interest in chemistry, I internally feel educated watching you and you have some great theoretical explanations. Cheers from India, where teaching could be more practical and less egotistical.
Incidentally, would it be easier to purify the sodium dithionite from your rust cleaner before you put it into the reaction, rather than having to deal with the foaming and having to repurify the luminol to deal with the additives? Or is it fine this way? You’ve done plenty of purifying and extracting from household stuff before, including a video on how to do a more general procedure, so is there some difficulty in isolating dithionite, or is it simply more practical to purify it afterwards?
1. Get some sodium 2. Get an equal molar amount of aluminianium 3. Throw the Na at the Al really, really hard 4. Repeat step 3 until chromium is formed
Great! Now I can make luminol and test if I cleaned the blood enough.
