Ortho and Paranitrophenol : Organic synthesis

[@thehyperscientist1961]

Such clean products with a clean synthesis!

[@johnathancorgan3994]

A challenging synthesis and separation, very well done. A step up from this is 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). The reaction conditions to directly nitrate phenol to this are difficult to achieve and isolate. A different route is to first make 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, then hydrolyze the chloro- to hydroxy.

This is such a clever way to separate these products! I really enjoyed this video!

I am looking into moving to India. Lots of sunshine, warm winters, a good quality of living, less bureacratic redtape (compare to the EU and UK). A growing science industry (I have a BSc qualification in Chemistry). Furthermore, I enjoy growing tropical plants, so I'd quite enjoy volunteering my time and learning on the mango plantations!

Good luck to you🙂

[@garycard1456]

Lucky you in sunny India for being able freely (it seems) practice hobby chemistry. Here in the UK, the socio-political situation is a sorry state of affairs: "have you got a licence/permit for that?" In the UK, an individual can no longer own HCl and other chemistry essentials above a certain concentration without asking for 'permission'.

You do tend to get an abundance of what you tolerate ..

[@vibzzlab]

Yes I have permit but tbh no one cares that

[@akhilthechemist]

Neat synthesis

[@chemistrylovers742]

Since nitric acid being a powerful oxidizing agent does the ring get oxidized?

[@dimaminiailo3723]

it does, hence the tar

[@betadecay]

cool!

[@jhyland87]

Very nice man! Don't they smell amazing? The nitrotoluene to toluidine reaction goes from the best smelling chemical I've ever made, directly to one of the worst. lol

[@vibzzlab]

Ofcourse they do smell so good🙂

[@mukesh9057]

Sir,How to make Diethyl ethyl malonate.

[@chemistrylovers742]

Pls make a review on synthesis of phenyl azo pyridine

[@vibzzlab]

Sure I will in the near future
