Symmetric, eight corners and fully organic. This is the beginning of the Synthesis towards Cubane. This will be a fun and long journey on this channel.

I’m almost as excited to see you succeed as I am to see Tom’s reaction to you beating him to the cubane 😆
Wow, I really love that you explain everything you do, I am studying in chemical engineering!
Holy shit, I’m here from Tom’s vid and I gotta tell you that your intro roast of him made me laugh so hard that I was crying and wheezing 😂
I cant wait for the moment that more and more hobby chemists aquire the cube and explore its properties, totally epic video!!
Poor guy is still stuck on his reptile lamps and thesis. GG in advance.
This is an awesome video! I'm looking forward to bragging about being one of your early subs when this channel blows up haha :)
So that's three youtubers all going after cubane... awesome
Three on Youtube. I know about 5 more who are also making it xD
Wow! Just wow! This was such an entertaining and nicely explained video. I recently started org synthesis grad school and saw some weird looking glassware in the lab, for which I didn't know a proper use, but after watching your video now I know what Dean-Stark apparatus and a cow adapter! :D
I like the filming, the music, the comments and, most of all, the educational quality. I’ll be waiting for new videos with impatience!
Wow das ist insane qualität!!!
Die montagen die musik die bilder WOW
ABBONIERT!
Great video! Love your editing and voiceover style. I think getting a better microphone or running your voiceover through something like adobe podcast speech enhancer would go a long way in making it feel more professional. But this is exciting! I look forward to watching your journey.
Thanks man! Currently using audacity for my audio. Might be able to get something out of that
adobe podcast speech enhance is free and great. also audacity’s declip is the best i’ve found yet, beating a paid plugin i tried by a huge margin, if you ever find yourself needing to fix clipped audio
Just found your channel. Love your video style. And the quality is great
Great editing skills! Nice all around. I'll be back for more of THIS.
That background music through me for a loop...I thought I was in the VAB for a sec.
Great video, looking forward to more!!
awesome video. great camera work and editing! really impressed for such a new channel. looking forward to the next video
I really love how he doesn't cut out the washes cuz I don't get to skip em either when I'm in the lab
challenger appeared
Dude, I watched your other video and this one came up too and watched it. I decided to sub and took a look for more vids but these are just the two, can't wait to see more! Loving the sudden influx of new high quality science channels in the past few months.
I just wanted to say great job on the video, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
C'mon man. You're really great at this. Keep making videos on synthetic organic chemistry. I've subscribed your channel. Wonderful.
epic best off luck with the synthesis and looking forward to the series
I see your TLC skills are on par with Extractions&Ire!
Great video! I've found several new chem channels recently that are outstanding. I really appreciated you going into the mechanism in the detail that you did. As someone who is trying to get around to learning o-chem properly it's a great motivator. Some others talk about the reactions a bit, but yours was among the best in terms of giving me hope of being able to learn this stuff. Thanks!
My money is on the bootlegger E&F(I).... always been a fan of his from way back.
What an amazing video for such a young channel!
Hey this is exciting! Tom has been stuck for quite a while now. I am looking forward to see your progress in upcoming video's. Great setup too btw, maybe use white background though. Good luck!
Nice work! Good to see so many people putting out interesting content in this area.
Small point from one german chemist to another: "Educt" is not really used except for german PhD's and Postdocs, everybody else says "starting material" or "substrate".
Oh God at first i thought you were going to make it in one video... I was worried for Tom's sanity.
Man, you are doing great, great job. Great editing!
Nice Video! Got a new sub. Especially the explanation of the steps was very good and understandable for someone who is in the 3d semester of the bachelor rn
I just discovered your channel and it's great, keep on making videos you got huge potential.
Best chem youtuber
I dig the background music
THE CUBE IS CALLING
I just recently got my Cuban t-shirt!!
4:51 it's very impressing! 20.000
Maxfieldmed is making cubane too!
I love it when they say "it's probably fine"
i was honestly expecting you to synthesise cubane in just one video like an absolute chad, bypassing all of tom's multiple videos about tar and reptile lamps
Sorry lad i'm not that fast
Awesome video. Now I have 2 cubane series to watch. Taking bets on who will finish first 😂
this is a dream come true for me. we need more! instant sub
Glad to see that chemistry is yellow everywhere.
super!outstanding footage!😲
Based
The reason you got a huge volume of liquid from your Dean-Stark reflux is that toluene and ethylene glycol form an azeotrope, which makes these acetal formations in toluene much more annoying.
I didnt know that. Can also explain the huge aqeous layer. But still the yield is alrivht so thats fine
bro if you beat tom he gonna be so mad man but kuddos and best of luck to you for future cube adventures
I'm invested,
Great video production! Looking forward to your synthesis project. Yes indeed - Cubane video in YouTube sidebar is the ultimate clickbait for chemgeeks.

We got a cube race on our hands now?

It's looking like Tom is going to lose, but he's busy with his PhD.

Luminary you are German right?
