Corrosive Chemistry - 2021-01-13
In this video, I follow another procedure from Vogel on the Friedel-Crafts acylation of toluene with acetic anhydride to produce p-methylacetophenone. Music: Serenade for Strings, Elgar
Production quality is perfect i think you just need little bit more time to get more popular thank you for making these videos
I believe the abnormal boiling point during the vacuum distillation is the result of my pump heating up considerably as it runs, this would increase the vapour pressure of the oil and whatever solvent impurities that have been captured in it. So as the pump runs, it heats up the oil, increasing the vapour pressure of the oil, increasing the pressure in the system, increasing the boiling point, and this would happen slowly over time as the pump slowly heats up. That's my theory.
Can glacial acetic acid be used instead of acetic anhydride?
Neat video on organic chemistry. Cool.
Can you also use acetyl chloride instead of acetic anhydride?
Yes
Explosions&Fire sent me, great stuff man! Keep it up!
Good to see you here! Still waiting on that iodomethane part 2 video as well. LoL! 😉
@BackYard Science 2000 the part two of that video had to go on the back burner since the material I was trying to analyze was amorphous. Makes XRD a little difficult. But I’m setting up a new lab that will be dedicated to more videos. Setting it up is the next two months of my life though haha.
_Flat-bottomed flask under vacuum_ - PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE! Even NO vacuum filtration! For vacuum filtration we have Bunzen thick-walled flasks.
Flat-bottomed flask under vacuum? Come on! Safety first! ;)
which vacuum pump do you use ?
RS-1 3CFM 1/4HP Single Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump
are you not afraid it will rust or explode?
Already full of rust... somehow still kicking and I'll use it till it dies, then get I'll pick up a nice pump
Please metylpropiophenone synstesis and distill
which book do u have?
Altarnwtive fiedel craft reaction zinc powder video please
GL!

Very interesting to see you do it!
I want to become this good at chemistry, your videos help me aim for the stars, for your level of proficiency.
Also very much like that you state your sources in the video. I save backups of all videos you post, but the program doesn't save the text from the video description.
Best regards!
