Cinnamaldehyde : Synthesis ( Making Artificial Cinnamon flavour )

[@myhealthyadvice.2281]

Thanks sir What is the name of this device?

[@reichsman9537]

i love your videos and would love to see an mesityl oxide synthesis

[@THYZOID]

cool prep!

[@vibzzlab]

Thank you🙂

Can you do OTC synthesis of benzaldehyde? Almost no chemtuber had done it and the one that does requires subscription to paypall to watch it. The rest of the videos only used benzaldehyde instead of synthesizing it. In undergrad level we could use PCC, but PCC itself is a mess to make and quite toxic. It also requires benzyl alcohol... which would be also a kinda a mess to make from benzyl chloride.

[@vibzzlab]

What raw material from which you need the benzaldehyde made

[@C4pungMaster]

@@vibzzlab if possible things like toluene? Im still figuring what kind of mild and mundane oxidizer to use

[@aribinu8910]

So the reaction optimum time is 4 hours, since acetaldehyde is forbidden in some country it is hard to find the chemical

[@vibzzlab]

Acetaldehyde could be easily made from ethanol and sodium dichromate

[@aribinu8910]

Yep i have tried to oxidize ethanol with pottasium dichromate/sulfuric acid and distilled in hurry, but it's failed because it's difficult, fast reaction to form acetic acid and low yield..maybe next would you mind showing how to make acetaldehyde, hhe thank you for advance

The title of this video should be turning bitter almond oil into essence of cinnamon

[@wn1757]

I dont get why you put the base in it slowly

[@vibzzlab]

The reaction is quite exothermic. If we add KOH very fast the flask get very hot and the heat could make the acetaldehyde escape as it has a very low boiling point

[@wn1757]

@@vibzzlab Thanks! Second question: why did you use acetic acid to neutralise NaOH? Why didnt you use HCl? Is there a specific reaaon?
