I hope everyone is doing well! Last month was a little slow, but I hope to be posting more this month.

Aluminum isopropoxide

Hey guys, last video of the month!

Thanks again for all your support!!

Making some bromoalkane

Hey guys, today we are using a different method to make bromoalkane. The product from this video was originally meant to be used to make 1-octen-3-ol, but that pathway is dead.

Instead, I am using it to make caproic acid and that should be posted in the coming weeks.

The next video is aluminum isopropoxide

Mercuric chloride

Hey guys, here is another one!

Part 2 of Gold Series

This is the second and final part of the gold processing videos! 

The next video is going to be mercuric chloride and it will be posted in a day or so. 

Gold processing

Hey guys this is just part one of two. I had to split it because its going to be like a 35 minute video. Let me know what you think!There is an error in the video where i say 2:1 but 3:1 is written. The correct one is 2:1

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of a good thumbnail. I am at a pseudo Canada Day party and i wanted to post this before July.

Methylamine

Hey guys, making a little methylamine today. I did this video on request, so unfortunately I dont have any ideas on what to use it for. Do you guys have any ideas?

Also, I filmed it in 60fps. I think I still prefer 4K video though.

Extracting Potato Starch from Potatoes (and a talking little bit about starch)

So, this is not exactly hardcore chemistry, but I thought that it was still an interesting endeavor. 

Next video is methylamine HCl

YouTube

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a bit! I have been slacking a little bit on the editing and I have instead been doing chemistry.

I hope to get a few more videos out before the end of the month. Right now I have 10+ videos sitting on my harddrive...

I also just finished making 67g of mercuric chloride (HgCl2), which...

Oxalic acid!

Today we make a little bit of oxalic acid using the classic sugar/nitric acid method!

YouTube

Hey guys, today we dissolve a little bit of cotton! I messed up a little with the background and the contrast, but oh well...

Next video is oxalic acid from cane sugar and nitric acid!

Making Acetone from Calcium Acetate

Hey guys, this video has been a long time coming!

The next video should be about dissolving cotton in Schweizer's Reagent

Making Calcium Acetate Alcohol Jelly

Hey guys, first video in a little while. I am trying to get more things edited.

Finally

Finally I am posting the video where I made pyridine from niacin. The yield isn't amazing, but it is good enough for me.

Do you guys know of any cool things to do with it? I might use it to make bromobenzene, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything else. I could technically try to make DMAP, but I am kind of s...

Making Eosin Y!

Hey guys! First video of the month. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the support :)

Extracting Niacin from Pills (Vitamin B3/Niacin Pills)

Trying to squeeze some videos in on the last day :)

Making Copper Hydroxide

So apparently I made my $250 goal... I have to commit now. I guess you guys own me for the next 6 months.

Oxalic Acid

Hey guys, here I am drying a little bit of oxalic acid. We finally get to use the Dean-Stark apparatus here!

Hey guys, first video of the month. Kind of slacked on editing so far.

Making Calcium Acetate (from eggshells)

The last post of the month!

I am going to go and distill pyridine from niacin now :)

Making Basic Copper Carbonate

Hey guys, here we have some basic copper carbonate. It is not a super interesting experiment honestly, but the colors are cool and I needed to make it :)

Making Mercury Thiocyanate (The Pharaoh's Serpent) - Revisited

Hey guys, I listed the names of everyone on the $5 tier, but I didnt include the people who opted out of rewards. If you want your name to be there or you dont want it to be, let me know!

Making 68% Nitric Acid

Hey guys, here we are making some nitric acid for my next project where i make 300+g of mercury thiocyanate.

Thanks for your continued support! :)

Making Denatonium Benzoate (most bitter compound known)

Finally i made the denatonium benzoate video! Also, someone was nice enough to make me an intro video :)

Making Benzaldehyde (Étard reaction)

Making Luminol (and 3-nitrophthalhydrazide)

Finally, the day has come and i have posted the luminol video! 

As I said in the video, the next one is on benzaldehyde from chromyl chloride and toluene! That should be up by the end of the week. Maybe wednesday-ish.

Thanks for all your support guys! I really have to get my act together and make some proper...

Making Benzoic Acid (from sodium benzoate)

First post of the month :)

I am also going to try to get some real patreon rewards going.

Cleaning Liquid Mercury Metal

I fixed the editing issue. It SHOULD be good now.

Hey guys, back again with another video. Here I clean up a little mercury. In the future I hope to distill it :)
