Hey Nile! I made this extraction today; from 28g of cinnamon sticks the yield was half a ml of the aldehyde. It smells nice! It is a bit cloudy but I believe it is water suspension from the separation process (as I don't have a desiccant at hand).

You've really had the same style back in the garage. Your current lab is so much better but the content seems to have been there all the time. Well done. Keep it up!

I am not sure why, but it didn't separate out. I also did limonene which quickly separated out. I guess I could have left it out for a while and waited for it to separate.

He doesn't pander, his commentary is A+ and not annoying, great filming, great explaining, he lists reactants, quantities, and chemical equations. His experiments also look very neat and not half-assed in someone's back yard like some more popular chemistry channels. One of the most admirable things is that he doesn't only do flashy, explosive, or crazy experiments, he has a lot of variety.

Hey, first congrats for the channel :D, you often talk about the efficiency when you're making extractions, and I don't remember you ever using the Steam Distillation before... and I didn't find anything about it's efficiency, so I have to ask, how much (%) of it's essential oils you'd say was "lost" in this process (pretend nothing was lost for lack of surface area)

Honestly this man can whip up whatever essential oils he pleases and it’s kinda not fair. When are you gunna sell them?

When you get the cinnamaldehyde in solution, could you ad anhydrous magnesium sulfate to dry the solution and then vacuum filter the magnesium sulfate off? Just wondering if it would work

I like that HMRI you did at the end reminds me of that organic chemistry class I took in college. Look could you do a video on sulfuric acid production from elemental sulfur. Actually I’m not sure you may actually already know of such a video.

Where do you perform those extractions and experiments, given that you have access to an NMR? Do you work/study at a university?

Hey man I got this remaining DCM smell in the final product, I even put it under a vacuum with (very) mild heat. Any advice?

Can you post a video on how to make cinnamaldehyde via an aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde?

Hello. I am currently working on extracting cinnamaldehyde in a project and instead of using DCM or Ether I will be using ethyl acetate. Will it still work? Instead of 25.5g cinnamon I will use around 100g to compensate for maybe less separation from the water phase. I have also been wondering why exactly you use saturated sodiumchloride and calciumchloride what is it for?

@Schatten2712

+Thomas Jacobsen I'm going to try it tomorrow with ethyl acetate as well, I will post my results. Also I do believe that sodium chloride was used to drive water out of the DCM and the calcium chloride was the drying agent

Wouldn't this be a good application for a sohxlet extractor?

nilered why didnt you use the soxhlet extractor to extract the cinnenaldehyde?

Not sure how I got here looking for instant pot recipes but fuck is this interesting!

If you used Ether instead of DCM could you use it as a flavouring?

I wonder if this has been used for carcass preservation like formaldehyde.

Why will powdered cinnamon possibly form more foam? How does the foam form?

Would be cinnamon used in cooking works too?

is there any other way to extract the cinnamon oil without using chlorinated solvents? i dont want to contaminate the final product, i dont mind waiting for a week or two for the layers to separate

Would this work with ethyl acetate in place of the DCM?

one of my undergrad Organic Labs was to make nicotine dipicrate. A really gross steam distillation of a big can of tobacco.. brings back found if not stinking memories :)

All I can think about is making a potentially lethal Atomic Fireball.

@NileREd ever thought about showing how to extract artemisinine ? Might be of interest for a bunch of people. hope you ll take a look.

can you dry it with NaSO4? instead of saturated sodium chloride solution??

Could you just let the water evaporate to leave the cinnamaldehyde behind? or would that evaporate too?

What is iodine value of cinnamon oil.

When you make substances with yields of just a few milliliters, is loss from the oil wetting the inside of the flask when transferring into the dram vial a concern?

@NileRed

9 жыл бұрын

yes, to do the transfer properly. you need to transfer as much as you can with a pipette or syringe and then wash the flask a few times using an appropriate solvent and pipette that out. Combine everything and then evaporate.

"When all of the DCM had been removed, the yellow oil which remained was transferred to a dram vial". How on earth did you get that little bit of oil out the bottom of the flask? Did you just hold the flask upside down for a really long time till the drops crept into the vial? Seems there would be lots of wasted oil on the inside of the flask! I'm considering using this method of recovering the DCM using a 1000ml round bottom flask, but I'm also thinking there may be a more efficient way to collect the oil once the DCM has been distilled. Any thoughts? Great video, btw! Very informative!

@patricknagle4462

You could use a pipette. Or just use your receiving flask for the next phase of synthesis once the dcm is removed and the flask maintains a constant weight.

We made cinnamaldehyde the aldol condensation way at university. The only trouble was that I nearly dropped the flask and spilled quite a lot of it all over myself. (Luckly I didnt need it anymore at this stage) Although my labcoat did its job, I smelled like cinnamon for the whole day. I know there are worse things, but it kind of sucks when eating something savoury. Best part of it was when a little kid on the train yelled: "Mommy, why does that woman smell so tasty?"

Ethanol won’t form a separate layer from water. I would recommend mixing the cloudy oil suspension in water with enough salt to saturate it and then shake. The oil should separate out after that, and could be removed with a separator funnel or carefully using a pipette
