One has to be really careful when drawing this compound, there is an additional hazard there ;)
UA-cam also has a problem with one of the ways PETN can be drawn
I did not see that at first… 😂

Pucker factor is very high for about half the steps of this, and I imagine the cleanup is pretty tedious. Better you than me! Also, I thought tetraethyl lead was more accurately out of sight and out of mind than not known (from the beginning) to be highly and persistently toxic.
Jesus, yeah, just slinging lead all over the place, I had the heebie jeebies the whole time. Very similar to when I see uranium compounds being synthesized.
It was certainly advertised as non-toxic, though the inventor knew better from experience.
@Tunkkis he got lead poisoning himself but greedy company's
dude, your sodium looks contaminated. have you tried washing it with water?
I always scrub my sodium thoroughly with a sponge under running water
It didn't taste contaminated so i thought it was fine
That tends to happen when you don't store it in a protective 100% oxygen atmosphere.
I've been told it only works when cleaning >5Kg at once
Sodium reacts vigorous with water and can cause an explosion... Na is best stored in oil
It would make some cool content to see how you deal with byproducts from super toxic reactions like this. How you store it until you can deal with it, what you do to neutralize particularly nasty stuff, recovering anything that might be worth the effort. And while this was definitely cool and informative, it would be showing off a very practical use for your skills and knowledge to take the scary uh-oh stuff and change it back to (relatively) harmless and/or useful material.
Disposing is easy...just pour it down the sewer. KIDDING!!!
Shhhh...that's an FBI agent
It still amazes me that humanity was using this for as long as it did and people were inhaling and eating the decomposition products for freaking decades. On the other hand, the first commercially used, synthetic antipyretic/analgesic without an antiinflammatory effects oxidized people's hemoglobine (Fe2+ -> Fe3+) and hence was quite toxic aswell, besides being an absolute meanie to liver cells (it had a freaking hydrazine group!), so there's that.
what's that? the antipyretic
@@j0rmis I think the TS meant Antipyrin (Phenazone). The N-N part in its pyrazolone ring indeed comes from phenylhydrazine precursor and resembles a substituted hydrazine, but, strictly speaking, isn't one. Due to the amide group in the ring it is not even nearly as toxic as many other hydrazine derivates. Although even some purely hydrazine-based molecules are still used as efficient drugs today, so not all hydrazines are that evil. )))
Saying that it has a "hydrazine group" is either disingenuous or from a lack of understanding (likely the latter). There is nothing in the literature that I can find that even suggests that phenazone is metabolized to hydrazine in the body, so then we're just down to kind of "this compound has a chlorine atom, so it must be as bad as chlorine gas, a chemical weapon used in WW1" etc. (using an extreme case to exemplify here). Though I'm happy to be shown evidence of the contrary.
The Romans used lead acetate to sweeten wine and of course had lead plumbing.
@@Toca_waffle843 The lead plumbing probably didn't matter, as it passivates quickly. Making 'sappa' by boiling wine in lead vessels to make a sweet syrup that was widely used in cooking, however, was more problematic.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that bromoethane was a reagent in this reaction. As it was a critical component in the TEL additive package.
The fuel additive was called Ethyl Fluid and it was a mixture of Tetraethyllead, Ethyl Chloride, and Ethyl Bromide. (Old names for chloroethane and bromoethane) the haloalkanes were used as the lead scavengers. Without them, lead oxide formed during combustion of TEL would build up inside the engine as a solid residue.
The lead scavengers were used to create lead chloride and lead bromide. These compounds, exposed to the temperatures of the combustion, would form vapors as opposed to dust. And these vapors were much more easily exhausted from the engine.
TEL got the lead into the engine, ethyl chloride and Ethyl Bromide for the lead out of the engine (and into the air we breathed) And that's Ethyl Fluid for ya!
I had heard that ethyl fluid contained bromine and chlorine compounds to act as lead scavengers. Now I know what those compounds are.
Obviously it was entirely right that TEL was banned, but the chemistry of how it worked was pretty ingenious
I understand that it wasn't banned for it's direct health effects but rather to allow the use of catalytic converters in order to tackle the problem of photo-chemical smogs (lead poisons catalytic converters ).
Not COMPLETELY banned. Still used in aviation gasoline....
Not banned just not used anymore due to emission control systems (i.e cat converters.) TEL is still used in aviation and in race fuel
Your videos are so high quality, your channel is underrated!
I had a two stroke scooter. A moped. A 1976 Puch Maxi. I was building it all back to showroom perfect for my daughter to ride to college classes and back. I lowered the gear ratio by putting smaller sprocket up front and larger sprocket in back. I got it a kit to increase engine displacement from 49cc to 70cc. When done, I noticed that the kit had engine knock that was severe at higher revs. I took it to the local scooter mechanic that sold the kit. He said He didn't notice any "Pre-ignition". He didn't understand the difference between pre-ignition and detonation. I recognized the problem as being too high of a compression ratio for the available pump gas octane ratings. I could not find TEL. I made a thick copper head gasket. He argued against it, insisted there's nothing wrong with my scooter. I was old enough to be his grampa, I remember what these things do when running right. I know. He doesn't. So I put the shim for the head in. It lowered the compression enough for 93 octane fuel to no longer detonate. I made him ride my scooter again. He came back shocked, giggling, excited. In complete disbelief. Now I get VP racing fuel and I took the shim out and I mix Klotz oil in. My sprocket gearing was to lower top speed from 43MPH down to under 30MPH because the stock brakes can't handle the speed. The whole scooter wasn't MADE for speed. I could at least make it accelerate really good, though! My daughter then raced it. She won every race until the owner of that scooter shop had to figure out how to do his job. Higher octane is what you get from TEL. Higher octane is required by higher compression combustion chambers to slow down the rate at which the fuel-air mix burns. That's what exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) does in emissions - equipped cars. Too low of an octane allows the fuel-air mix to actually explode, instead of slowly burning, expanding and pushing the piston down.
An additional base gasket is an easier option for lowering the compression ratio
@@jimnasium3979 Moving the jug up moves the intake and exhaust ports with it - changing their timing and volumetric efficiency, no?
@skeggjoldgunnr3167
Yes, but not enough to matter in a low-performance engine.
I actually recommend reading the whole TEL story, it is a nice reality check)
love your videos! high quality and the topics are just amazing.

Thomas Midgley has a lot to answer for.
You know, some people think the main reason for the fall in crime and violence around the world in the later 80's and early 90's actually has to do with leaded gasoline being fully banned for regular cars.
Makes sense to me, though it's more about impulse control and hazard perception rather than just criminality. There was a lot of lead in the diet of Romans, they didn't think twice about setting off to conquer the world so In their case it worked for them.
I Myself worked on a TEL / TML production plant, the operators were a fearless bunch of guys and there seemed to be an excess of fast motorcycles/cars in the parking lot - co-incidence? I think not.
@@Toca_waffle843 TEL is also probably the chief cause of "boomer brain", the pattern of strong emotional reactions and general irrationality common to the baby boomer generation (especially boomers who grew up in more heavily populated areas as they had more exposure to lead emissions), that is also consistent with the type of brain damage caused by lead poisoning.

bro this is in my chemistry syllabus but they don't mention the pyridine and refluxing. thanks for the extra knowledge!!
Super! Thank you very much!
Wonderful
Really liked the video. Excellent and informative.👍. I can't help worrying about concluding the experiment. Where and how to despose of the TEL😱
Hmm, I wonder, how on earth would one dispose of a flammable liquid? Obviously, you pop it into your crop duster. You figure out which tank.

*Nerve damage joined the chat*
kill me, pete
We all STILL have some degree of chronic lead poisoning. Not as much as our parents who breathed TEL, but enough that we've all lost a few brain cells.
If only these organometallic weren't so toxic, how nice it would be to have air and moisture stable organometallic compounds that you could use in organic chemistry reactions under mild conditions and without the need for an inert atmosphere.
Fun (terrifying?) fact: Aviation gas still uses this today!
So, the logic is just to be high enough above the ground and all promblems are gone. That really sounds like politicians logic 😬👍
@@7784000 I have heard that it is because ethanol can draw a bit of water to itself its shelf life is a bit worse. And because avgas is mainly used in private owned small scale operators their gas is not as fresh all the time and bad gas could lead to malfunctions. And a malfunction of a car is not a bad day after a plane malfunction.
@tony flamingo so instead they use jetfuel and basically add the Tetraethyl lead to have it stretch because of the expense rate ?
@@tonyflamingo3285 Yeah, ethanol in fuel is an absolute disaster, but the main thing is just certifying old engines to run on an unleaded formulation. As you say, avoiding engine failure in an airplane is absolute top priority from a risk management perspective.
@@NicholasA231 Yes, since many lawsuits and new safety and equipment regulations made new small airplanes basically unaffordable for "normal" people (in the 1960s they used to be in the region of a luxury car, now its more of a house .. even with todays housing prices) the majority of the fleet is .. OLD. Lots of airplanes from the 1950s-1970s.
how about making triethylarsane (very horrible gasoline additive)?
Someone needs to build a 16:1 compression ratio internal combustion engine, mix gasoline with TEL to 114 octane, set timing to no knocking, most power output on a dyno. THEN try gasoline in same engine with other so-called octane boosters and compare the dyno results.
I will gladly donate my TEL to whoever can do this =)
Nothing else comes close to TEL as far as an octane booster. As far as testing just take your samples to Inspectorate or any other fuel testing lab and have them run it in a CFR engine. Adding more TEL to gasoline has diminishing returns. 16:1 static compression isn’t a real test as the dynamic compression will vary depending on cam timing as well as engine speed. I’ve run 15:1 static compression engines on 110 R+M/2 gasoline without any detonation and I’ve had 12:1 static engines that couldn’t run on 110 without retarded timing. These engines had nearly identical combustion chamber designs but vastly different valve timing events.
@@Trump985 Last motor I built was 14.7:1 with mild dual pattern marine cam for a daily driver pick up truck running on Shell 93 octane.

Is this just added to gasoline in it's raw form? I'd be interested in seeing you doings internal combustion tests with homemade leaded fuel.
Got tetraethyl lead, lead fumes and asbestos. Gotta go get checked for cancer from just watching this video 😅
why not calculate yield all the way from the metallic lead?
Can you do the H NMR/ UV vis/ IR analysis of yours products?
Is there like an easy(ish) way to convert tetraethyllead back into elemental lead or at least a less awful insoluble lead salt?
Burn it. Forms Lead Oxide, Carbon Dioxide, and Water.
Lead Oxide then can be reduced with carbon to elemental lead.
Just wondering, what are you doing with the waste?
Hey, conducting this in an inert atmosphere would have made things far less messy and probably would radically drive up your yield.
Also, hope your nutrition is fantastic. The more natural chelation agents you ingest the better.
Chelation isn't real, it's woo....unless you're in a medical setting otherwise you're better off with essential oils.
Gloveboxes are a chemist’s best friend.

I wonder if you could mix that in with unleaded gas to get leaded gas that would run well in classic vehicles? Obviously you'd need to produce enough TEL to get the correct ratio of fuel to TEL.
Did you just chuck that piece of sodium in barehanded at 3:37 ?

Real scientist
I wanna see tetraphenyl lead.
Why didn't the metal spark or catch on fire when you put it in the bromoethane chemical? Like it would have with water? I don't know how to spell it, sorry!
Sodium alloys are MUCH less reactive with water than pure sodium. The sodium content was still high, but this alloy was probably only about as reactive as lithium. With careful exposure to water or alcohol, it won’t ignite, just produce hydrogen
@@spiderdude2099 Thank you for explaining. I understand and it is very interesting.
Cool chemistry but this synthesis looks painful! Can you do a clean-up video?
What did you do with it after you made it? Do you have a 1974 or older car or other old engine to put it in the fuel tank?
Vp c16 is 100+octane with TEL to make it 130+ octane
Also avgas 100ll is just mildly leaded gasoline..
Older cars used lead as they didnt had hardened valve seats, which would worn them down without hard oxides that formed on them from leaded gas
I dont get the reaction of the Pb-Na-alloy with the ethylchloride. What are the oxidation states of all the atoms and what gets oxidized and what gets reduced?
Pb and Na have both the formal oxidation state of 0 in the alloy (atleast i think so). Na(0) reacts with Ethylbromid to Ethylsodium (metal-halogen-exchange). Ethylsodium reacts with Pb to Tetraethyllead (metal-metal-exchange). I think in the first step there is also the formation of NaBr but I'm not sure. The C-Atom in the C-M-Bond is always negatively charged, and the M-Atom is positively charged.
How about making tetraethyl molybdenum and testing it to see how well it performs as a gasoline antiknock additive compared to tetraethyl lead?
Tetraethyl lead apparently rhymes so good
It's unfortunate we ever got started leading gasoline. Tetraethyl lead used to be made with giant Gringnard apparatus. Ethyl chloride was made into ethyl magnesium chloride and a lead anode was used in an electrolysis to make tetra ethyl lead. Ethylene dibromide was added to the gasoline to take up the lead as lead bromide. This reduced the life of the engine as well as spilling lead bromide into the environment.
this video is the firstr time i learn that raid shadow legends actually has a lore
As a chemist you should know everything is toxic, the question is what is the toxicity dose
How about tetraethyltin or tetraethylsilane?
2:34 🤘
why not melt the sodium and dissolve lead into it?
wouldnt that work?
It's not banned. Small piston airplanes like Cessnas still use carbureted engines that run on leaded gasoline.
Also, tetraethyl lead was invented by Thomas Midgley Jr, better known as the inventor of Freon 12, the first widely used ozone depleting chemical.
Banned for general use, there will always be niche applications for any type of 'banned' chemical

Our lab level decontamination procedure included potassium permanganate but I can't recall the exact procedures. On a larger scale the high lead waste produced would be fed back into the process via lead recycling furnaces before being alloyed once more with sodium.
@@Toca_waffle843 thank you
That QR code for RAID is so useful!
The Germans used to use this in tank engines
I wonder what commercial process was used to make tetraethyl lead when this was an octane boosting additive added to gasoline. This process may be fine for making small quantities of tetraethyl lead in a laboratory, but many years ago large quantities of tetraethyl lead was made. I am glad that gasoline is now unleaded, because tetraethyl lead is very toxic.
Just don't inhale it to see the butterflies! 😉😁
Can u smoke it?
A Lil too toxic for me. Any cadmium compounds?
Diethylcadmium is even nastier than this.
Yay lead poisoning
I absolutely hate lead
You are way braver than me, I would never synthesize that compound or even touch the container it's in with a ten foot long pole. How do you even go about storing that substance safely? On top of that, how do you safely dispose of it? Because it's not like it can be burned, as it releases lead oxide fumes, and it definitely can't be poured off anywhere.
Well you could toss it in a active volcano 😂
what ratio do i use to add to my fuel?
If you want to add tetraethyl lead to gasoline, dichloroethane must be added. Otherwise lead oxide is deposited in the engine. About 0.7 g TEL per liter is enough. In addition, 0.7 g dichloroethane per liter. However, leaded petrol must not be used in cars with catalytic converters!
Not advisable anywhere that they monitor car emissions, the lead will poison your catalytic converter. The introduction of catalytic converters to reduced photo-chemical smogs was the main driver of the downfall of leaded fuel (not the reduction of lead in the environment as many think)

Why
Does anyone know of any one , university , petroleum lab , back shelf of a garage , who might have some leaded gasoline ?? I’m looking for a sample that would contain TML (tetramethyl lead ) which many leaded gasoline formulations may have in addition to TEL. I perform analysis for TEL but also tend to see all the other alkyl lead additives . Alternatively can this channel synthesize this next and send me a couple mL lol I’ll pay .
On elsvier theres is really nice report about all octane additives, tel is most effective, second to it is TML..
You can buy c16 or q16 fuel from VP, or avgas 100ll from local airport..
Another way is ordering concentrates from chemical companies.. tel is only cheap variant of all of them (100ml = 100€, 200ml = 165€ with shipping)
There is some misinformation here. Firstly, 'controversial' is a weasel word and has no place here. It is a toxic and unsafe fuel additive. Any controversy is the product of misinformation.
The toxicity was well known before the 40s, and the issue had been raised in the 20s and 30s, I believe.

Cool, but why?
The question in chemistry is always why not
You forgot to mention that it also lubricated the valves, the early engines made to run on leaded fuel had soft valves and seats and when leaded fuel was stopped all those engines had to have hardened valves and seats fitted
That aspect is somewhat overstated, and depends a lot on engine design. Diesels have never used leaded fuel (would be very counter-productive for them) and many got away with soft valve seats anyway. Some gasoline engines from the leaded era are ok with unleaded fuel, others suffer valve seat recession rapidly under the same circumstances. Probably related to average exhaust temperatures.
@@nerd1000ify yeah some petrol engine originally designed for leaded petrol could last a decent amount of time on unleaded if they weren't under a lot of stress but mostly it was later models with better valve material that handled it better or they were really old low compression, low speed engines.. all old petrol engines did suffer to some degree from the removal of the lead, it's just a matter of some fairing better than others.. diesels run on lite oil so there's some lubrication there anyway and old diesels didn't produce a lot of power for their size, many modern diesels do run hardened valves and seats because of the higher rpm, egt and often being turboed.. heat isn't the only thing causing valves to wear, it also depends on the springs fitted because valves spin as they open and close, plus heavier springs also slam the valves closed harder, there's many factors that come into how much a valve will wear.. I've got some engines originally built for leaded fuel bury the valves so deep that they no longer seal because they won't even close anymore so i had to modify them and i've got engines that are still running on the old soft valves but I know they have suffered extra wear because of the lack of lead because I've checked them and relapped them when lack of compression became a problem earlier than it would have on leaded fuel
@Mark Short do you use lead replacement additives? They're still often sold in Australia for older cars, but I don't really have any reference for how well they work. Most are potassium based as I understand it.
To my knowledge the highest performance engines always used hardened seats even with leaded fuel. As you pointed out, the stress on the motor plays a big part.
Leaded fuel is itself harmful to the valves, during WW2 the Germans found that lead (or maybe the HBr made by burning lead scavengers added with it) eats low alloy exhaust valves (due to nickel and cobalt shortages they weren't using conventional stainless) even though the hardened seats were OK.
@@nerd1000ify nah I couldn't be bothered with mixing lead replacement additives, I own a machine shop so when the soft valves and seats fail I'll just replace them with hardened valves and seats.. the cost of the lead replacement additives over time is far more than the cost of upgrading to hardened valves and seats anyway so it's not worth it.. performance engines didn't always have hardened valves and seats for the simple reason they didn't always exist.. the old valves were 2 different types of steel that were friction welded together, they weren't like the one piece hardened valves that we have today

but y tho?? Isn't that burning sodium step aerosolizing massive quantities of lead dust? Is this the process the Ethyl Corporation used in the NJ loony gas building in the '20s?
