If you call it the sodium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) it is classified by the DEA in its most restrictive category (Schedule I, highly addictive, no medical use), but if you take the same molecule and call it sodium oxybate, it becomes Schedule III, and is prescribed for narcolepsy and other sleep disorders.
Never heard of the salt version until this video - thanks for making that connection and pointing out our literal insane drug scheduling inconsistencies here in the US
I've heard it's used to help people with narcolepsy get a full night sleep to help with the daytime tiredness. Good thing it's only ever used for that.
Sodium Oxybate is used to treat narcolepsy because people that have the condition lack the ability to get natural deep sleep, which results in the excessive daytime sleepiness. Because people with the condition are not able to get any normal rest from deep sleep cycles, Sodium Oxybate is used to force the brain into the deeper sleep cycles at nighttime, which, in turn, helps alleviate the daytime fatigue.
that’s interesting, makes me wonder if that’s what i have or similar, since i just don’t get tired at night without meds, tho one of my meds helps me sleep so it’s not a huge concern to find something.

The mysterious substituted nitrostyrene is a precursor to amphetamine. And sodium oxybate and GBL are both precursors of GHB. And amyl nitrite (along with several other organic nitrites) is used recreationally as an inhalant (reportedly causes a pleasant sensation, as well as making certain types of sex easier by relaxing smooth muscle).
A lot of the "I don't know why anyone would have a problem" chemicals are used recreationally, are a precursor to illegal recreational suspects, or used to drug people (GBL).
@@cjslime8847 Ok, I dont feel as dumb now lol. Not sure about Propylhedadrine, and definitely didnt get the whole Nitrous Oxyde. Whats wrong with them?
I know someone with narcolepsy and she uses sodium oxybate in the evening to stay asleep at night and dexamphetamine to stay awake during the day. Never heard of someone using sodium oxybate of ghb to stay awake but its probably the fact that it facilitates a good nights sleep that prevents muscle weakness and daytime sleepiness.
The sodium salt (Xyrem) and the mixed salts formulation (Xywav) of GHB are used to treat narcolepsy because at low plasmatic concentrations a paradoxical awakening effect -via the dopaminergic system- take place. GHB is much different than other gabapentinoids mainly because it binds with the GHB receptors (which they were called GPR172A originally).

Note that Toluene is usually not directly nitrated to TNT. The conditions for di nitration are much milder than adding the final nitro group. The two isomers from the first step: 2,4-DinitroToluene and 2,5-DinitroToluene get separated. The latter creates "unstable conditions" for the final nitration.

@@mandowarrior123 I was referring to how long it would take to understand the video, not necessarily how long it would take to actually be able to make the stuff xD
As for why sodium oxybate (a depressant) treats narcolepsy (a hypersomnia condition): Narcolepsy occurs not because of lack of sleep, but because of poor quality sleep, as the body's systems that control sleep cycles are dysfunctional and deep sleep (which makes you stop feeling tired) pretty much never gets entered. Oxybate is a strong enough sedative that it physically forces the body into the deep stages of sleep, allowing the cause of narcolepsy to be treated.

Narcolepsy is similar to epilepsy, and it's abnormal brain activity which causes the "sleep attacks". Sodium oxybate simply inhibits the tendency for that abnormal activity to occur, promoting sedated/harmonious types of activity. In narcolepsy, the sleep attacks got nothing to do with somnolence or fatigue. I hope that makes sense.
What exactly is the issue with the nitrostyrene at 9:52? I couldn’t find anything about it when searching it up. Also, I asked my Orgo professor about it today and she told me it’s probably because it’s structurally similar to methamphetamine. Is that the reason why it’s S tier or is there something I’m completely missing?
As someone who was way too into using OTC medicine to get high, I'm real excited to see propylhexedrine on this list. It's rare I see someone mention PPX without being on the benzedrex subreddit.
THC then you have to mention Chocolate. 11-Hydroxy-THC is an alternate site activator of cannabinoid neurons, the actual neuroreceptor for those neurons is Anandamides which are named after Sanskrit Ananda meaning bliss. Anandamides are found in Chocolate is significant quantities. Early researcher Rafael Mechoulam tested this on Palestinian children, per his book.
In last school years we found a half of industrial TNT charge. We were kind of experienced about how explosives works and used self-made initiators to detonate it. It turns out that it's not that easy to do it. So you can just throw it in fire as a fuel.

Narcolepsy is similar to epilepsy, and it's abnormal brain activity which causes the "sleep attacks". Sodium oxybate simply inhibits the tendency for that abnormal activity to occur, promoting sedated/harmonious types of activity. In narcolepsy, the sleep attacks got nothing to do with somnolence or fatigue. I hope that makes sense.
i had a weird feeling when i clicked this video that i would se a sussy crewmate and i wasn't wrong
2:53 You're welcome captions guy. I can perfectly understand english but it just feels right to follow along the complicated chemical names lol
What exactly is the issue with the nitrostyrene at 9:52? I couldn’t find anything about it when searching it up. Also, I asked my Orgo professor about it today and she told me it’s probably because it’s structurally similar to methamphetamine. Is that the reason why it’s S tier or is there something I’m completely missing?
propylhexedrine also is but its not S tier
I may have had two inhalers (500mg) of propylhexedrine and some pure lemon juice...
Man, this is my kind of chemical video! Thanks, as always!
Not that I had any doubts, but this list confirms That Chemist is a man of taste.
This is the most underrated chemistry channel thank you for the memes and science fine sir
Thank you for your kind viewership
Dihydrogenmonoxide should be S tier. They put the stuff in soda!!
thank you for the captions i saw that! i can hear just fine but i like reading captions because it's fun
As someone who was way too into using OTC medicine to get high, I'm real excited to see propylhexedrine on this list. It's rare I see someone mention PPX without being on the benzedrex subreddit.
Ah a fellow member of the delsymboyz……..ah never mind
The dihydrogen monoxide got me.
THC then you have to mention Chocolate. 11-Hydroxy-THC is an alternate site activator of cannabinoid neurons, the actual neuroreceptor for those neurons is Anandamides which are named after Sanskrit Ananda meaning bliss. Anandamides are found in Chocolate is significant quantities. Early researcher Rafael Mechoulam tested this on Palestinian children, per his book.
Love how this isn’t even demonetised
It briefly was, but after some back and forth with YT it got remonetized
All of them, all of them are demonetization worthy.
You know a word is hard when a chemist has a hard time pronouncing it
Rhamnetin caught me off guard
I laughed and lost a considerable amount of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the process
F
I love this channel because I can't talk about Bromo-DragonFLY with no one or amd-220 except for here
man, any time I work with dihydrogen monoxide, my stress levels are through the roof /s
People who don't know: ????
People who know: dying of laughter for hours
The GBL one was great - thank you 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
In last school years we found a half of industrial TNT charge. We were kind of experienced about how explosives works and used self-made initiators to detonate it. It turns out that it's not that easy to do it. So you can just throw it in fire as a fuel.
I was 10 minutes in before I realized he wasn't explaining the reasons for S tier because they'd get the video demonized 😅
Or deleted
@@That_Chemist As someone who doesn't know much about many of those compounds, i just closed the video since it made no sense to keep watching it
Ok so some of these went way over my head, mainly the pro pylhexadrine, sodium oxybate, GBL and the mysterious nitrostyrene can someone care to explain the joke please and thanks?
Polonium Hydroxide - PoOH
A favourite of Christopher Robin
"'Fukinone' got this tierlist demonetized" good to know thats the line
I still think that Assoanine should go right up the S tier.
Lmao
7:50 nitrous oxide can be used for NOS (nitrous oxide system) to boost cars. Not like videogames tho.
The thimbnail deserves a pulitzer prize.
Thank you :)
Bukholderia bacteria are never good news - B. cepacia is particularly nasty and persistent if you have a weakened immune systems, and a number of alcohol-free mouthwash manufacturers (including one of my former employers) had some serious contamination incidents in the late 2000s/early 2010s
