Hey guys, today we are getting a little bit of Red P by scraping it off of matchboxes. This method is meant mostly for demonstration purposes. I don't condone the use of Red P for any illegal purposes. Also, the Red P that we get isn't super pure. There are some other things mixed into it.
The yield from this method is super low too, so you really won't be able to mass produce Red P. It it really only useful for the small scale experiments.
Also, just as a side-note, videos like these are no charged to Patreon supporters. It is free to everyone

Warning: H2S is EXTREMELY toxic. Do NOT do this indoors and avoid using H2S if you can.
In this video, I generate hydrogen sulfide using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and iron sulfide (FeS).
I bubble the gas through a saturated solution of copper sulfate to limit the amount of H2S released into the environment and to demonstrate it's (old) use as an analytical chemistry technique.

In this video, vanillin is isolated from artificial vanilla extract. The solvent used is dichloromethane, but it is likely better to use diethyl ether as it does not form an emulsion. I used dichloromethane because it is easier to obtain for most people.
It is important to use artificial vanilla and not real vanilla extract. The real vanilla extract contains many more compounds.
The amount of vanillin in commercially available extracts is widely variable and usually ranges between 1g-4g per 500mL volume.

We will be making aniline by reducing nitrobenzene that we made in a previous video!

NOTE: Around 5 minutes, I made a mistake and wrote "hydriodic acid" instead of "hydrogen gas"
Aluminum isopropoxide is important to carry out Oppenauer oxidations and MPV reductions.
To make the aluminum isopropoxide, I will use mercuric chloride that was made in a previous video. I will then carry out an MPV reduction using the aluminum isopropoxide to eventually make 1-octen-3-ol, something I have been working towards for a while.

Apparently I can't monetize this video because Youtube doesn't like the word "lidocaine." So, if you liked it, please donate because I had to buy this lube twice at the good Canadian price of $40 each time. Yes, I spend $80 on anal lube... (not including the $20-$30 i spent on trying to extract from other products). Oh my god. That moment when you realize your video cost yoy $100+ (CAD, aka monopoly money).
In this lovely video today, we will be extracting lidocaine, a local anesthetic, from anal lubricant! I wonder if anal lube sales will go up after this...

WARNING: THIS IS EXTREMELY TOXIC AND SMALL AMOUNTS CAN EASILY KILL. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS.
Today we are making some dangerous mercuric chloride. The final product will be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of aluminum isopropoxide.

Theobromine is an interesting molecule and is very similar to caffeine. It appears in a high concentration in cocoa (a small amount of caffeine is also in cocoa).
In this video, I am extracting theobromine from cocoa. In the future, I might prepare cocoa powder from raw cocoa pods.
