Lou Bernabeu you think that's orange, you should see potassium dichromate, it's ridiculously orange almost neon.

our chemistry-prof always said with enough love, we'll eventually start our grignards :D (aka. if nothing happens, heating the flask with our hands etc.)

My suggestion for merch would be to do what Ben on Applied Science did. Rather than sell clothing with his logo, he sells iron-on patches. That way, anyone can have the logo on any item they like, even clothes they already own, and I expect they'd be cheaper to boot.

While being a chemistry student years ago, I did numerous Grignard reactions. Mostly to create deuterium labelled alcohols and acid. I needed to heat the flasks beforehand to get out the water, flush with nitrogen and use only super dried solvents. With all these precautions you should be able to get yields of about 80% . When hydrolizing the Grignard reactand with water, an alcohol is formed, in your case it could have been 1-pentanol as the side product... So, with your faster approach the yield is okay, I would think. Big fan of your experiments, BTW. Keep it up!

Pro tip: Absolutely NEVER add all your alkyl halide if the gringnard rxn hasn’t started yet. Not just because you don’t want a thermal runaway, but because you can get undesired side reactions that destroy your Grignard reagent before it can react. Until you see the initiation of your rxn, only add 10-30% of your alkyl halide solution

i think that the low yield you obtained is mainly due to Wurtz coupling side reaction. to avoid it you shoud not pour all the halide even if the Grignard synthesis does not start well, but you should try to start it with max one fith of your halide, and then adding the rest dropwise. also, overheating of the solution also favors thé Wurtz coupling. still, your are doing an incredible job without a decent fumehood !

They way one can manipulate a substance to get a single other substance is just mind blowing. So keep up the great work. =)

I'm so glad you stuck with it, great video

Now I need a playlist that’s each of your videos and right after each Nile red video, the Nile blue video of the cleanup reactions (they aren’t as good without seeing the initial reaction and knowing the steps of that, it’s less sensical without it, I almost don’t even wanna watch a playlist of just the red videos just to not spoil the blue videos, at least at the rate I’m watching them I can forget them easily enough

Fun fact: The names are descriptive in very different ways. Caproic refers to the smell ("Caper" is Latin for Goat, so it's goat-like), while Hexanoic refers to the 6-carbon structure, and its similarity to hexane (which is sometimes found in gasoline).

i love falling asleep to your videos but the background is white and so bright

I was synthesizing benzoic acid the same way lately and had the same problem: my phenyl bromide wasn't reacting with the magnesium. What worked for me was adding the iodine in a later stage. My labjournal: ... When a quarter of the phenyl bromide was addes and wasn't reacting with the magnesium, stirring was stopped. An iodine crystal was added and after a couple of minutes the reaction started. Addition and stirring continued. ... I had to do Grignards for a long time and this was one of my observations. It also looks nice since the magnesium starts jumping a bit in the ether. Hope this might be useful in the future. A fellow chemist

10:00 best misuse of a volumetric pipette I've ever seen 😂

The ether in this video was inhaled directly before Nile came up with the idea to turn gloves into soda.

Here is an easy procedure to pre-activate magnesium turnings for grignard reactions that has always worked very well for me: - In a Buchner funnel or a fritted glass funnel + vacuum flask, add a excess amount of magnesium turnings. - in 4 different containers, set aside enough of each liquid to cover up your turnings : 1M HCl, demineralised water, methanol or ethanol, diethyl ether. - Add the 1M HCl on top of your turnings, a vigourous production of hydrogen gaz will occur. - After a few seconds, quickly apply vacuum to remove the HCl solution. - Quickly rince off your turning by adding the demineralised water, then applying vacuum again removing most of the liquid. Proceed the same way again using methanol/ethanol, then the diethyl ether. The magnesium turnings you get that way shoud be pretty much dry and oxide free at that point. Use them immediately for best result. No further activation using iodine, dibromoethane, or grinding should be required if your conditions are anhydrous enough. This procedure can be used with old tarnished turnings as well.

Ethyl hexanoate is one of my favorite chemicals to make; it has a wonderful pineapple smell.

Caproic and Buytric acid are naturally present in dunder, or the probiotic element used in fermenting and distilling Jamaican rum! Please try it!

I think a tee shirt with your channel logo would look pretty cool, and for the beakers and lab coats, I think your channel logo would do fine also

It could be nice to convert the hexanoic acid into hexanoyl chloride or bromide. And as an added bonus, when doing an esterification (under dry conditions) you should get a better yield than doing the standard Fisher-esterification with an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Awesome video , Nile red

Yessss finally you said "sieves" as expected xD

Get every kind of alcohol you can and do a whole bunch of esterifications. Maybe you could even just do a one pot esterification with all the alcohols mixed together and see how it comes out smelling. You could put small amounts of the final product on strips of paper and sell it to your Patreon supporters, like NileRed cologne samples.

I know there are as many opinions on how to start a Grignard out there as there are chemist, but my most sucessful initiations were as follows: Just overlay the Mg turnings with Et2O. Add a few mL of your electrophile (pure, no solvent) WITHOUT stirring. Heat the reactions mixture, I prefer a heatgun to the heat it at the spot where the electrophile was added. As soon as the reaction becomes milky white, dilute the residual electrophile in the addition funnel and off you go. Maybe this is helpful to some of you :) And as always great video Nile, reminded me of my undergraduate years as my first grignard also was for the formation of a caboxylic acid....boring benzoic acid though :D

Delicious reaction. What about making a pentyl ether an check how it smells?

I heard of a series of Ionic Liquids based on choline and carboxylic acids. Perhaps you can try to make cholinium hexanoate.

I would make natrium caprate salt, dry it and set the goat free by mixing with h2so4. without the ether you can make an easier destillation.

I would love some nile red branded stuff. College makes it hard to motivate donating money but i could convince my self if there was a cool lab coat in it. I need to retire my blue one soon and p-o-chem is starting soon

Do you think your reduced yield could be from the reaction of the grignard reagent with oxygen? I didn't notice any steps you may have taken to exclude oxygen from your reaction mixture.

love your videos. would deffenetly buy Nile red glass wear for my experiments. I say go for it. what do you have to lose here? lol

The major loss is probably not just from water, but also from the atmosphere and most importantly ; from how and in which order you added the reagents. Putting all of the brominated stuff before the first reaction even started, and the only adding the CO2 after all of the possible Grignard reagent was produced : you're gonna end up with a whole lotta side-products.

Essence of goat you say? {ALCHEMU INTENSIFE}

you need to dry diethyl ether over sodium with benzophenone as indicator. There may be plenty of water present in diethyl ether..

"I thought would be cool because it stank" 🤣

low yield is probably to wurtz reacion combining bromopentane and bromomagnisiumpentane destroying your grignard

YOU PRONOUNCE SIEVE RIGHT I'M SO HAPPY

Would using a bigger condenser help with it not getting overloaded or would it not matter either way. That was crazy how it was just pouring out the condenser like you were adding stuff.

As a Physicist I'm a big fan of dry ice. Its like the poor mans liquid nitrogen, less fun, less cold, but still generally similar benefits. They both turn straight to gas rapidly and float on a cushion of air making them pretty fun to play with. They can both freeze objects which are fun to shatter (liquid nitrogen can splash from vigorous boiling and be dangerous though). They can both be held, and doing it wrong can maim you. And they're both great for throwing around the lab because they leave no mess and don't need a clean up. Any excuse to use either should be taken, if only to kick around and play football with (as it glides across the floor almost frictionless).

Put it on. Smell like the goat. Goat-tra-band coming soon to stores near you.

You should try synthesizing a halohydrin and use it to make an epoxide, there are a lot of theoretical videos on youtube about it, but none that I know of where the reaction is actually performed. Would be very interesting to see in my opinion, especially since most amateur chemists can't synthesize epoxides the traditional route as they don't have access to peroxy acids.

john black​ You cant just drop benzoic acid into 2% hydrogen peroxide and expect good yields, on top of the fact that your product would be contaminated with benzoic acid that was left unreacted. And the average amateur chemist doesnt own a vacuum pump capable of distilling hydrogen peroxide to a high concentration, nor should they as it is explosive at high concentrations. I guess they could concentrate it to about 30% on a hot plate and that may work though. That all aside Ill be watching for your halohydration video.
