Cool vid! A tip: to boost yield, it could be a good idea to add water dropwise into boiling ethanol during recrystallization until light precipitation occurs, then cooling the whole thing in freezer. Nearly all impurities will remain in ethanol-water solution.
This looks suspiciously close to tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)Palladium[0] Its the way the gold solid glints in the light. Absolutely stunning very well done.

Really nice synthesis, thanks for sharing the procedure. Looking forward to more great chemistry videos!
Bam im HERE for the new Video
That color change right at 1:37... psalms 137 comes to mind... there's a poem waiting to be written off that satisfying moment..
Beautifully presented. Thank you.
damn, could this be used to make a kind of double-tryptamine? 😅
I just recently did this synthesis, it was really cool! Now I need to deal with the waste, any tips?
What's your favorite NaOH, flakes or prills?
Epic
Someone have a cientific reference about the natural source or presence of dicinnamalacetone? Thank you all.
Is it yellow or orange?
Could this be done with safrole as opposed to cinnamon oil?
Nice synthesis bro, it looks similar to the product of the condensation of malononitrile with vanillin ( sorry for My Bad English)
lol ur English is perfect here, no need to excuse that
which vacuum pump are you using ?
I guess you need a licence to get absolute ethanol?
Nope. You can make your own too if you want.
Pog
gud done. nice orang
