You ve started too little scale the first step… I admire honestly that You decided eventually to go on with this despite too litle substrate amount.. I would throw it away 😂

nice work hell yea cubane

Very cool vid wil watch later🎉

Finally, someone is getting the UV step right. The LED lamps obviously work, the wavelength matters not the price nor efficiency. With the lamps you are using: The wider and thinner it is spread, the better. Cooling the lighting could be done by cooling the LED PCB but line voltage is no joke. Are there COB LED on the market that come with higher energy density than an array of round ones?

Hell yeah, I'm going to watch this later at work tonight

Cool video! Thank you for this detailed process.

Congratulations on the full synthesis! This was an epic project man, hope to see many more from you! 🫡⚗️🧪❤️

the discoloration is just some crap from a side reaction i would guess.

Product looks clean in the end bro, gotta appreciate the work you do during the purification work ups! 👌🏼🔥

I love your music with it. Did you write it? Or where did you find it

Very nice,خیلی خوب

This was a fire 2 in 1 procedure bro. Loved the bromination it’s always my favorite step in cubane synthesis. Fantastic work here! 🔥🫡

Good stuff, goodluck on the UV cyclo addition

Neat. Keep up the good work!

Very nice video dawg

Your intro is way too long. I was hyped for this video, but that bored me to masturbation. I popped one off during. Now I'm done, thanks.

And then what? Is it precursor?

I’m in love with that column and your super clean glassware

I have always found the workup of this synth painful. I will watch later to see if you have any good tips.

Nice work. Appreciate the safety measures during the process. Really nice equipment and reagents as well!

Good job! I am waiting for the continuation...

Nice music ❤

if you need more of it hit me up. i still have 2,5L and no plan to continue with the cubane synth

Those reagents look really good! Glad to see you making progress towards the cube.

hes alive

Note: I broke my short-path distillation column for this video, as it would not fit any flask.. Needed to snap the receiver tube off as it bend sideways making it impossible to attach a flask.

Distill the toluene, distill the H2SO4, do the reaction, add the tolulene that comes over back in, work up as usual. The black crap comes from napthalene impurities in your tolulene. ❤

Nice! And beautiful giant glassware lol.

Cool

Let’s go! Bromine time coming soon.

Every cubane synthesizer gets an automatic subscribe from me 😌 Looking forward to the cube journey!

Da hora

I am not a certified practicing organic chemist, but I do have several methodological remarks to note. They will ensure higher yealds of the purest product whatever you will be apt to make. Don't take me wrong but my old chemical burns start to itch when I watch your video :) If you think you could feel offended in any way please stop reading and don't proceed any further. In all other cases let us begin: 0:45 This flask is dirtly and wet. It will ruin nine out of ten of you experiments completely or at least drastically impact your yealds. There is a good recepy for cleaning: concentrated h2SO4 with 10-15% H2O2 added later. you don't need much - 15 ml of H2SO4 and 10 ml of H2O2. Beware, it is highly corrosive and agressive stuff. Thoroughly rinse your flask with this solution with a flask closed with stopper and open frequently to avoid preassure buidup. After that dump the cleaning solution to the special bucket filled with solution of neutralizer like baking soda or delute caustic (no more than 10-15%%). Then rinse the flask couple of times with acetone or alcohol of your choice(metanol, etanol, [iso-]propanol). In some cases you may have a need to preceed these final rinses with non polar solvents like petroleum or diethyl ether. Finally when the flask is cristal clean make sure you let it dry completely either in drying oven or on a glassware drier. 0:57 Do not pour reagents from the huge canisters like that. Get a set of appropriate smaller bottles and containers for solid stuff. Firstly it will preserve the purity of the higher volume ingredients and last but not least it will reduce the risk to spill dangerous, expensive or rare chemical. 1:09 Get and use funnels. You've gotta have 4 of them: two glass and two polypropylene/ceramic/PTFE with narrow and wide necks accordingly. 2:33 These gloves do not fit your chemicals, get laboratory high risk latex gloves and make sure to change once you spill the corrosive stuff on. And in most cases try not to reuse once you take them off even if the reaction is not over. 3:37 It is highly recommended that you assemble the whole setup at first, start your water circulation before loading any ingredients. Get multiple-neck (2-4) reaction flask for initial reactants loading and addition funnel for adding stuff as you go with your reaction. Split-neck adapters can be used as well. And by the way all ground glass joints but the receiving flask in cases where applicable must be sealed with silicon grease and locked with clamps. In cases where boiling h2so4 is expected use a drop of h2so4 itself on a male joint and carefully put on the other joint and rotate the joints against each other to ensure they are wetted by the full circle and carefully sealed. It is a preventive action against joints freezing. 11:14 Get a more sutable volume beaker for to get the magnet stirrering rod more efficient. 14:23 This is not a decent vessel for recrystallization. Clean and let it dry completely before use. 14:40 grind the precipitate to fine particles and wash it using appropriate cold solvents that would not dissolve the product but would wash out by-products. Dry it and then go recrystallize. Likes for music, fancy labware and to your successful first stage of the synthesis!~~

Thanks. I enjoyed this. Looking forward to the cleaned up version. This synth looks to be doable with my skillset and lab. I might have to.give it a go. Subbed. :)

Nice collection.

music > chemistry >> thank you beautiful file share

I love all the KZbin chemists just rubbing Cubane synthesis in e&fs face

scienceequip coming in clutch with the clevenger apparatus

I made p-TSA many times before but I never had such a contaminated product.
