I've worked as a professional chemist and as a teacher, but I've always loved chemistry as a hobby.
Figured it would be nice to share with those interested :)
I've got no agenda, no real plan, I just do whatever seems fun to me on any given day. With that in mind topics will bounce around a lot and I might shelf a project for months before coming back to it... Might even sometimes stray away from chemistry.

Making a Hypnotic Sedative From Acetone
In this video I make an old hypnotic anesthetic agent called chlorobutanol from acetone, bleach, and potassium hydroxide.
Note that this chemical is NOT a recreational drug, and I have yet to find any examples of someone ever trying to use it as such. This was used nearly exclusively as a medical anesthetic until its use was discontinued due to its major side-effects which I discuss later in the video.
As always, do not attempt anything you see except under professional guidance.

Making Nitroaniline (And the Exploding Snake)
Переглядів 23 тис.21 день тому
In this video I make some p-nitroaniline from some acetanilide I made a few weeks ago. I use the chemical to then try out the exploding snake reaction, which is an awesome energetic reaction I've wanted to try for ages. In the future I plan to use the rest of this to make some azo violet, along with para red which is the very oldest azo dye (and a brilliant color). BTW: I forgot to mention in-v...
Turning Fertilizers Into Pure Chemicals
Переглядів 22 тис.21 день тому
In this video I convert the fertilizer calcium ammonium nitrate to pure calcium nitrate. I then purify urea fertilizer and ammonium sulfate fertilizer using a few basic techniques. This was done on a patreon request, and by request of a few people in the comments of my ammonium nitrate video who wanted a pure source of calcium nitrate for one of the methods I showed. #chemistry #science #hydrog...
Chrome-Based Explosive
Переглядів 26 тис.Місяць тому
In this video I synthesize the very unique and potentially explosive compound potassium tetraperoxochromate (V) This is a fairly energetic compound on its own, but an incredibly powerful oxidizer when used in binary mixtures. What is most interesting to me is the structure of the chemical, representing both a rare example of pentavalent chromium, and a complex stabilized only by peroxide ligand...
Making Bromine
Переглядів 10 тис.Місяць тому
In this video I discuss and make some of the beautiful but very dangerous chemical bromine. Bromine is one of only two elements that is a liquid at STP, and behaves much like chlorine sharing many of the same hazards. I plan to use this chemical in the future for a variety of projects that I'll likely link here when they come out. PLEASE READ: I do not recommend anyone but trained professionals...
Making an Old Pain Medication (Acetanilide)
Переглядів 8 тис.Місяць тому
In this video I make the old pain medication acetanilide (brand name Antifebrin) from some aniline I made in a previous video. This is technically an intermediate step in a long process I'm working on to make some Azo dyes, which require para-nitroaniline as a reagent. Acetanilide is required to make para-nitroaniline, as the acetylation of the amine prevents meta-substitution. PS: The thumbnai...
Making Simple Pyrotechnics

In this video I discuss and make a small quantity of a few different pyrotechnic mixtures PLEASE READ: What I demonstrate in this video is done at the smallest possible scale, with the safest possible pyrotechnics, in a controlled environment, by a person (me) who has extensive experience with energetic compounds. I do NOT recommend anyone attempt to make any pyrotechnic mixtures themselves wit...
Making TNT

In this video I discuss and make a small quantity of the notorious compound TNT or trinitrotoluene. PLEASE READ: I do not recommend anyone but trained professionals attempt this process due to several significant hazards associated with the synthesis of this chemical. I intentionally made a very small amount, but with compounds that can potentially undergo rapid decomposition, safety is a very ...
Testing Fast Food for Chemical Makeup
Переглядів 8 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video I demonstrate four ways to test for four different chemicals that comprise the vast majority of the food we eat. This type of analysis is strictly qualitative, telling the analyst simply whether or not the compound is present. I thought fast food would be a cheap and interesting candidate. Also, MANY more such tests exist to determine the presence of these compounds (and many more...
Growing a Chemical Garden
Переглядів 7 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video I demonstrate how to grow a chemical garden, which unlike most of my projects is something you could safely do without much of a background in chemistry. The most dangerous step here is the preparation of sodium silicate, but this can alternatively be purchased easily as a chemical called "water glass". Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more out of this project! BTW...
Making Methylamine 3 Ways
Переглядів 100 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video I demonstrate three ways of making the incredibly commonplace (but fairly tough to buy) chemical methylamine. I used the methylamine produced here to make a photographic developer called Metol, which I'll demonstrate in a future video. There are numerous other methods of making methylamine and its salts, as it is the simplest primary amine and a simple byproduct of a multitude of ...
Making Fluorescein
Переглядів 11 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video I demonstrate the organic synthesis of fluorescein. This chemical is an extremely fluorescent compound in dilute solution (as the name would imply), and I primarily synthesized it as an intermediate in the synthesis of eosin. I meant to release a video on my synthesis of resorcinol before this one, as it is used as a primary reagent, but that video ended up taking over 4 hours of ...
Mercury Beating Heart
Переглядів 4,6 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video I demonstrate the classic version of the mercury beating heart reaction. Being the classic version, it is also by far the most dangerous to perform. Today, this reaction is typically done using the MUCH safer gallium, but since mercury is my favorite element I like to play with it every chance I get. #chemistry #science #hydrogen #gas #elements #fire #chemical #industury #color
Pure Acetic Acid from Vinegar
Переглядів 12 тис.4 місяці тому
In this video I synthesize pure (glacial) acetic (ethanoic) acid from common vinegar. This process can also be done by fractional freezing (I guess) but it isn't nearly as scientifically interesting. Also note that nothing done here is particularly efficient, as this stuff is quite easy to just buy outright. #chemistry #science #hydrogen #gas #elements #fire #chemical #industury #color #subscribe

Determining Water Hardness by Complexometric Titration
This is awesome. I respect the shit out of people that have this level of chemistry knowledge. It’s like alchemy and magic but totally real.
Highly energetic? No shit!
This guy has bigger cajones than I do, cuz although I enjoy a big bang, like any red blooded American, this process is more dangerous than I want to play with!
raw looks like asbestosis
Criminals taking serious notes
you are very magnificent. I've learned a lot from you. I want to ask for your help. Please can you make a video on the synthesis of theophylline? With easy reagents
An interesting compound id like you to check out would be Desoxypipradrol (2-DPMP) it is a stimulant with a half life of 16-24 hours and one dose is said to keep people awake for multiple days. The synthesis seems pretty easy with just 3 steps according to Wikipedia (although I have no knowledge of chemistry so idk how easy it really would be)
Can you make Dimethyltryptamine next?
Is this the stuff in glow sticks?
Bro, 4th of July at your house must be epic! Good content, thanks for sharing
An amateur. A dangerous dabbler. A dilettante.
I mean I professionally work as an organic chemist but sure, everything on every chemistry channel is by definition "dilettante" work as it isn't being done in a professional setting or following any SOPs. What is your point?
Didn’t you just need sand and gunpowder
Yes 😂
Really enjoying your videos as i always leran new things everytime i come to ur channel. please keep it up and keep uploading new videos to help more students who are studying chemistry and look up for such a content 🎉🎉❤❤
Reacting this iron sulfide product with an acid generates deadly (but very useful in a chemistry setting) hydrogen sulfide gas. So please be careful
I will safely say It is good to watch this because it informs you on how dangerous it really is
Fascinating materials. Thank God for explosives because mining metals and other minerals would be a lot harder and our civilization further behind in technology without it.
NileRed seemed to think in his synthesis the cloudiness in the chlorobutanol reaction was simply finely dispersed potassium hydroxide, not potassium chloride.
Hm.. I'll have to ask him about that. Potassium hydroxide is so crazy soluble I didn't consider that a possibility, especially since it has to dissolve to react in the first place. Never know though, definitely worth looking into.
@@integral_chemistry I think it’s one of those things where, it’s not super soluble in organic solvents, but moreso, it’s driven forward by the higher solubility of the product relative to the hydroxide. Also, it would make a lot more sense as you saw in your mechanism. No formation of carbines or loss of product due to some weird side reaction. I suppose also, you could filter it, dry it out and see if it’s hygroscopic, or reacts with something like calcium to make calcium hydroxide, which wouldn’t be the case with potassium chloride.
¿Are you nile?

ua-cam.com/video/FeAY1__jE6E/v-deo.htmlsi=JqPe-hXSUTBHA8in Suggesting I need a UA-cam video to make TNT. I'm insulted.
Does the sentence (~0:20) "reduce the nitrate to nitrite and oxidize the sulfite to sulfate" kinda sound like rap music on purpose or is it accidental or is my brain just being weird? I find the sentence's rythm and alliterations to match the background music really well.
After watching this, it seems like a terrible product to make and use when other better versions exist.
7:50 the kelvin scale energy over time - hit it with a hammer vs heat it with a flame
And that's what they put in are bread look it up
Ah yes... another rape drug
