In this video, I make dimethyl oxalate from oxalic acid and methanol. Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/DougsLab Twitter: @YTDougsLab Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/1/103236004133559189742
Is doug dead or taking another year long hiatus? Find out next year on Dragon Ball Z.
And then the f*%&ing series just restarts.
as i saw this comment i was playing dbz2
You OK? Haven't seen a video. The feds didn't get you, did they?
I know the family and other commitments take precedence over playing in the lab and doing Youtube videos. I wish you the best. You are/were the best educational producer in the field of Youtube chemistry; you can run with the best of them.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand he's gone. Bye, Doug! See you again next year!
*in 2 years
@D. R. yeah YT rules are awful
If this keep going like this , every cool chem channel will be banned and only will stand the shitty ones(make slime/playDoh as the "coolest" science projects) :c
It’s now 2 years later.
Spoke too soon.
I’ve heard he moved to the countryside, and his internet is too bad to upload anymore
He still occasionally posts on the sciencemadness forums though
Doug the videos just keep rolling out from you, and I'm loving it.
This comment aged poorly rip
@Rsaramallac very poorly...
F
Doug, I really hope you're all right.
I hope he's not dead
Doug where are you?
Hey Doug, mind if I ask what you do for a living? I'm unsure if you work in a chemistry-related field or if chemistry is simply one of your hobbies
I'm also curious about this
I work in the automobile airbag industry, which has a lot to do with mechanical engineering but also the chemistry of explosives and propellants, which is my major field of study.
Doug's Lab heyyyy make some azides
He answered this. He is alive... [Things intensify]
where are you?
Im glad to see a 或那个 caring for Doug.
10:21, Doug, you're an artist. ( you'll probably catch the reference...)
Haha.. you're a cool dude, AND a great orator of chemistry.
Thank you, Doug. I'm really looking forward to what you've got planned.
Where were all these great "teachers" when I was in school! Doug, come back!
Doug, please come back !
Someone should make a beaker that is slightly tapered outward so it's easier to remove products like the big cake at 7:35
Are you ok?
And he's gone
Doug, in another video not too long before this one you said you were going to produce videos more frequently but you haven't followed through. When can we expect to see more of your chemistry?
He's gone again.
ScienceWithJames who said that?
the rougemillenial that's me in the forum lol
Please tell me you didn't die using thionyl chloride to make oxalyl chloride or something...
"Gayest person on patreon" Also great video Doug keep up the great work
Doug please come back!
"We'll talk about that in the next video".......
Is he alive? [Hopes intensify]
I just want to know whether he's still alive at this point
He's fine, just busy. Apparently he has a kid now among other things.
really miss this channel posting, one of the best.
I love your vídeos, i need them, NileRed does pretty good explanation and video editing, hope you get your patreons UP, you should do some promotion of your channel somewhere.
<3
I’ve been waiting so patiently all day. So relieved that you actually uploaded. As always love the video!
Great video, as always, Doug.
Hey, I love chemistry too!
Could you do a video on hardware? Cheap glass vs expensive glass, different brand mantles etc.
I'm sad, where'd Doug go again?
Please don't stop uploading. Your Channel is bound to grow. Collab with codys lab maybe?
Can you make a video about wurtz-fittig reaction?
What with all that upcoming videos, I watched all of tour videos already and I want more
Not again Doug. I have a heart, you know?
I think your videos are great and it's pretty awesome to be able to expect the release date of the new videos!
I miss you its been 3 years... 😢
I can't believe its been more than a year now
Really cool video! I thought the liquid would be way more viscous than it was
More videos Doug! We need more
where are the promissed videos doug ? we miss you :,(
Love that opening for your patreon supporters.
Hope you're doing ok! I miss your videos.
we miss you Doug!
Definitely too much H2SO4. I copied your prep this week also running it on the 1 m scale but reducing the sulfuric acid to 25ml. No issues drying it on the pump and it proceeded at essentially the same speed. Followed up with a re-xtal in hot MeOH to clean off lingering sulfuric.
@Doug's lab, When work slows down and family life allows, hope to see some new videos from you. And I think your channel is every bit as good as Nile Red and Nerd Rage.
"as I'll be showing in some upcoming videos" gdi Doug
I hope he's okay...
@Mia Bobeea I hope that too

If you're going to make trichlorophenol please be careful and thoroughly research the formation of side products like TCDD. I wanted to make TCP awhile back but i decided against it due to TCDD formation.

@AlChemicalLife how do you know this and where did you find this out?

@Gerry Murphy I know because he is still active on sciencemadness forums ...

In Italy we had in 1976 the *Seveso Disaster*, from Wikipedia:
The Seveso disaster was an industrial accident that occurred in 1976 in a small chemical manufacturing plant approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Milan. It resulted in the highest known exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in residential populations, which gave rise to numerous scientific studies and standardized industrial safety regulations. The EU industrial safety regulations are known as the Seveso II Directive. This accident was ranked eighth of the worst man-made environmental disasters by Time magazine in 2010.
