Extractions&Ire - 2019-06-08
A vile substance. We go a little glassware crazy, synthesising and distilling SCl2/S2Cl2 at the same time. We need this to make S4N4. That's right, we're having another shot at the ol' nemesis, S4N4!

Didn't think you liked yellow chemistry, it does not get much yellower than this.
Gotta face my demons
@@ExtractionsAndIre brimstone - demons, how apposite.
+rep yellow, a gorgeous and favourite colour.
We accidentally create this occasionally at wastewater treatment plants. Smells like someone shit in a tire fire.
Yellow chemistry + your luck ———> rainy day in the hottest god dam continent!!!!😂
5:35 Ok, I feel less weird about spending 3 years doing extractions in my bathroom with a hotplate and the same stainless stock pot I use for spaghetti and boxes of mason jars and anchor-hocking tempered glass casserole dishes. I had a 3 liter "flask" of harmala hcl on the counter when a 6.something quake hit a few miles away. Had to re-tile after that. Yes sir, seeing that electric skillet doing bathlab duty after golden-greasing buckets of fried chicken restored a touch of lost self esteem to this lowly lavatory lab tech and for that I thank you.
CrucifyRobinHood Syrian rue? 👍 mimosa hostilis purple root bark ?.dmt is fun to extract
P. harmala, for those of you who like to eat seeds and have been curious what violent vomiting feels like. That and the trips most divine, no pun intended.
@@alllove1754 Yeah man, do not eat the seeds. Worse than morning glory. If your lucky you will only vomit...That's why I go through the hassle of extraction.
@@rickyrick5586 Dat is right sir!
Thank you for adding the Sulfur Chloride POV, it's so rarely done these days...
The glassware set up is like a PHD marble run
Was expecting a yellow product at the end but got a pleasant surprise, that's a nice looking red.
I like the glassware setup too, very nice.
Things that scare E&F: Yellow Chemistry
Things that piss E&F: Tar
Imagine getting yellow tar. My ultimate nightmare
@@ExtractionsAndIre Hmm, how about Lawesson's reagent? I bet that thing can make some superb yellow tar from random organic compounds :D
im scared
@@ExtractionsAndIre Well, wasps are black (tar) and yellow (yellow chem) at the same time, so it makes sense you really hate them.

Nice job, and nice shout out for Doug's Lab. I miss those videos.
Johnathan Corgan what happened to Doug? That was one of my top four guys
@@alllove1754 Life, probably. I think he might have gotten married or something. There was a teaser video a while back showing his lab in a pretty unused state, and I think he was planning to return, but never did. Anyway, he doesn't owe us anything, I'm just grateful for all the wonderful stuff he did put out there.
He’s back
@@samuelw4492 is he? Havent seen a video from him for quite some time :-(
His content is/was great.
Yellow tubing resisting yellow chemistry, I see we are using the latern crops logic
Thank you for the music choice in this video. Totally didn’t expect to stumble upon Richard’s track here.
You should sell your smell-describing ability to perfume companies
Next video: meangry.mp3 number 2
Hey mate use hot xylene to clean the sulfur off the glass. I made about 250ml of sulfur monochloride last year and still have it although it eats the lids of any bottles you use to store it.
I watched the video on Doug's Lab covering the same thing, and it looks like a fun synthesis (apart from the smell...). I feel tempted to try it myself, but I don't really have any need for the end product, so it would likely just be ampouled then sit on a shelf for probably years to come.
Awesome work. Always wanted to try this but the stench risk really put us off.
Perhaps it went so well because the universe saw that the molten sulphur and the sulphur chlorides are actually an amber colour...
oh you have 2 channels. this one has the actual chemistry. yay!
Never thought of what our product was seeing from there.
Nice view btw
Man with hate for yellow makes yellow.
...
Am doing me a confuzzle.
I would love to see a K2S2O8 synthesis
I have so much ammonium persulfate though, you thinking of a video making it from sulfur?
Extractions&Ire that could be useful...
@@ExtractionsAndIre can you cover the "dangerous" parts of AP synthesis via chlorates cell? Where is the danger when it comes to the DD reaction & ways to stabilize the reaction for "safer" synthesis?....
..just curious.

Your videos take my mind off my depression bruh
Your taste in music is impeccable across all your videos
The sulfur chloride mixture looks like it would taste spicy
When it hits your tongue, it would instantly break down in the presence of the moisture as such: 2 SCl2 + 2 H2O = SO2 + 4 HCl + S, and 2 S2Cl2 + 2 H2O = SO2 + 4 HCl + 3 S. The clouds of HCl and SO2 would disolve in the rest of the water of your mouth forming a mixture of sulphurous and hydrochloric acids which are both exothermic reactions. For that reason, your mouth would feel physically hot, but I don't think you would notice since it would be so gut-wrenchingly painful... The sulphur crashing out may coat your mouth forming a protective layer and lessening the burn, but the pain would be so undescribable that I don't think spicy fits it...
William Ackerson, I don’t know man. Your description of what would happen sounds pretty spicy, if you ask me.
@@pyromen321 Only one way to know for sure ;)
I found out that the reaction products function as a catalyst for the reaction itself. Since both sulfur and chlorine are highly soluble in sulfur chlorides the reaction can proceed slowly at room temperature with no need to distill the products. Since the reaction product is itself a drying agent there's no need to pre-dry the chlorine either. The tiny amount of moisture in the gas stream is converted to HCL which is vented out the exhaust tube.
By the Emperor, I could use your explanations to develop nurgle plagues
if the fuzz come to your shed they are FORSURE going to think u r making meth or mdma or someshit.....
it doesn't get better when he explains he is just making explosives
You could just put the final flask in an ice bath and add some cooling to the of everything else to ensure proper flow. What I'd do if I was worried about my setup.
Well done, Tdep!
These guys make all this reference to thioacetone. . No idea how bad, but you definitely described it to us. Decent. I'm sure a headache comes with it. Hope all is well down there!
This looks like a really elaborate bong setup 😂
I love sulfur! <3
(I genuinely like the way it smells.)
Can you please also upload your older videos of Making sulphur chloride ?
That tubing looks like primochill watercooling tubing tbh, but IDK if they make yellow as I haven't looked lol. They probably do but i've never used it. i've always bought red or green xD
Does the tubing just get perchlorated on the inside surface and is this expected to be a fairly resistant material bit like perfluor? Or way off?
Also if a lot needs to happen at same time it would be funny to use smart home devices for it :p
Fair Bloody Dinkum mate it would be a great idea to tell all us non chemists what is the point of the end product. What is it used for? If it has any uses.
yellow equipment contains yellow chemicals
Yellow chem bad
Can you please tell me where you find your music. I love everything you play in the background!
It's from the uncredited Aphex Twin SoundCloud dump
Stinky Chemistry is fun
Figure out the chemistry behind the dead carcase smelling stuff they put inside propane LP tanks and Methane NG tanks so they can find gas line leaks Via buzzards flying in circles over the leak confusing it for a potential meal
Methyl mercaptans and like
I like the color of the product. Looks almost bromine-like. Nice % yield you got there.
Interestingly it doesn't set glass like wet bromine does, and it's a bit lighter, but yeah they're both very beautiful red colours!
And finally yes, a decent percentage yield!!
GREAT VIDEO............After you bubble some Cl2 in to make it all SCl2 then you should bubble in some SO3 and make some thionyl chloride
It's pretty, like concentrated dichromate solution! And probably more toxic, but each in their own ways of course.
Would give you less cancer than a concentrated dichromate tho!
Make more vids. Do some reduction vids like Al/hg or even catalytic stuff with carbon infused catalysts
May i ask what software on the phone you use to make those timelapses of the many h of reaction?
Whats the weather like in New Zealand?
How about using the SCl2 to make some thionyl chloride (SOCl2) ?
You should try react it with NaOAc!
I’m curious to see this in action!
Now crack paraffin into ethylene!
I can't think of a worse approach to making ethylene in a shed tbh
I believe James Campbell mixed 50/50 TCCA and sulphur and distilled it together. Do you know anything about this method?

But he saved it because adding more chlorine made it turn red, since SCl2 is red. Red chemistry is fine.
