Hey Nile! I made this extraction today; from 28g of cinnamon sticks the yield was half a ml of the aldehyde. It smells nice! It is a bit cloudy but I believe it is water suspension from the separation process (as I don't have a desiccant at hand).

I am not sure why, but it didn't separate out. I also did limonene which quickly separated out. I guess I could have left it out for a while and waited for it to separate.

I've been watching for a few years, and tomorrow I am separating essential oils from spices in my college organic chemistry lab via steam distillation. Happy that I can finally put the knowledge I've gained from your videos into use! :D
This is a great video. I'm not a chemist but interested in making essential oils. I watched your video many times and learned so many things. Thank's for sharing it.
I had to do this distillation a few years ago, but I powdered the cinnamon and bubbled steam through the solution instead of heating the solution directly. The yield is always quite low. Nice Video :)
We made cinnamaldehyde the aldol condensation way at university. The only trouble was that I nearly dropped the flask and spilled quite a lot of it all over myself. (Luckly I didnt need it anymore at this stage) Although my labcoat did its job, I smelled like cinnamon for the whole day. I know there are worse things, but it kind of sucks when eating something savoury. Best part of it was when a little kid on the train yelled: "Mommy, why does that woman smell so tasty?"
Hey, first congrats for the channel :D, you often talk about the efficiency when you're making extractions, and I don't remember you ever using the Steam Distillation before... and I didn't find anything about it's efficiency, so I have to ask, how much (%) of it's essential oils you'd say was "lost" in this process (pretend nothing was lost for lack of surface area)
You should use this to make phenylpropargyl aldehyde (aka 3-phenyl-2-propynal). Why you ask? Because it's $250 per 5 grams and I thought it would be interesting to make something so expensive from cheap materials.
"When all of the DCM had been removed, the yellow oil which remained was transferred to a dram vial". How on earth did you get that little bit of oil out the bottom of the flask? Did you just hold the flask upside down for a really long time till the drops crept into the vial? Seems there would be lots of wasted oil on the inside of the flask! I'm considering using this method of recovering the DCM using a 1000ml round bottom flask, but I'm also thinking there may be a more efficient way to collect the oil once the DCM has been distilled. Any thoughts? Great video, btw! Very informative!
You could use a pipette. Or just use your receiving flask for the next phase of synthesis once the dcm is removed and the flask maintains a constant weight.
Hello. I am currently working on extracting cinnamaldehyde in a project and instead of using DCM or Ether I will be using ethyl acetate. Will it still work? Instead of 25.5g cinnamon I will use around 100g to compensate for maybe less separation from the water phase. I have also been wondering why exactly you use saturated sodiumchloride and calciumchloride what is it for?
+Thomas Jacobsen I'm going to try it tomorrow with ethyl acetate as well, I will post my results. Also I do believe that sodium chloride was used to drive water out of the DCM and the calcium chloride was the drying agent
one of my undergrad Organic Labs was to make nicotine dipicrate. A really gross steam distillation of a big can of tobacco.. brings back found if not stinking memories :)
Great videos Nile!! Quick question, how do you have access to an 1H-RMN ? Did you have to pay for the spectrum? If so, how expensive it is for each sample? Thanks!! I'll be arround.
@@NileRed Defenitely not comparable but using TLC may give you a clue about its purity as it's cheap and versatile.. Unfortunately it's only a qualitative analysis, even when using colouring sprays/baths
When you get the cinnamaldehyde in solution, could you ad anhydrous magnesium sulfate to dry the solution and then vacuum filter the magnesium sulfate off? Just wondering if it would work
First of all, I really like your videos, pls continue to upload. But I am also pedantic, maybe dichloromethane is a good choise as extracting solvend, but very poor If you intend to use the extracted cinnamon oil in food. As you can see in 1H, at 5.3ppm , you have your solvent, and it's not a small molar quantity. Nobody should eat that, unless just to smell or taste a fracion of a drop. Since you like extraction, why you don't show up the menthol extraction and cristallization? I'm looking foward to watch more of your videos! Ciao!
Is there a reason you needed to dissolve the product out of the water in DCM instead of just distilling off the water? Are the boiling temps just too similar?
Hello NileRed, I have a question, hoping you'll see this. For what purpose did you use the dcm in your vid? I don't know if this has already been answered. Is it to purify the extract? To break up the emulsion? I want to make lavender Oil and I fancy the dcm method, but some ppl tell me that it is unneccesary :/ Love your Channel, keep on the good work :)
I believe DCM is just to extract the cinnamaldehyde from the water layer so that it is highly soluble in it. Then to remove DCM u can also use a rotovap other than distillation which NileRed used
Please correct me if I'm wrong. So @3:28, the bottom layer is DCM (which is polar, right?). Does that layer have a little bit of cinnamaldehyde in it?-> (and this is drained out each time?) The top layer is AQUEOUS; (white with the cinnamaldehyde OIL)?
When you make substances with yields of just a few milliliters, is loss from the oil wetting the inside of the flask when transferring into the dram vial a concern?
yes, to do the transfer properly. you need to transfer as much as you can with a pipette or syringe and then wash the flask a few times using an appropriate solvent and pipette that out. Combine everything and then evaporate.
I'm looking for the pin/clamp thing you've got around your glass valve on the sep funnel. Where did you get that, and what is it called, please? Love your videos btw. : )
+Simon Jacobs It is and it isn't. True steam distillation involves shooting steam through the solution. This is just making the steam "in situ" which probably isn't as efficient, but still works well. We are still distilling off our product in the steam, but it isn't the true and classic technique.
Hey Nile! For a school project my group and I want to make cosmetics using cinnamaldehyde we extracted ourselves. Unfortunately due to legal reasons we can't use DCM. Do you think it would be possible to replace it with ethanol, and if so, what alcohol percentage would you suggest?
Ethanol won’t form a separate layer from water. I would recommend mixing the cloudy oil suspension in water with enough salt to saturate it and then shake. The oil should separate out after that, and could be removed with a separator funnel or carefully using a pipette
Hi, what lab materials and equipment did you use from start to finish?I need to do this experiment at home. My collage will send me what I need. Thanks
hello namaste dear NileRed...can i applied this method to all rosemary , lemon grass ginger and lemon using sodium chloride ,calcium chloride and dcm ether...please guide me posting in youtube if possible...
Thank you for the video, I am wondering about your condenser water inlet and outlet. I notice that its coming from a bucket to recycle the water. Are you pumping the water in from the bucket somehow? thanks.
I like your channel, very informative and all the proper precautions are made. You are the new 'NurdRage' in my opinion. An idea on a cool video would be making ammonium nitrate from calcium nitrate and ammonium sulfate. A lot of the ammonium nitrate found in cold packs is bad quality, lots of anti-caking agents etc, not to mention expensive for the amount you get. Ca(NO3)2 + (NH4)2SO4 --> NH4NO3 + CaSO4
Nile Red The best way and easiest way is on eBay, or a fertilizer store (but to be honest it would have to be a specialty store, not Home Depot) CN is used in cooling packs, like Ammonium Nitrate, but I don't know which brand uses it. AS is used sometimes for food, but I've never seen it in stores other than fertilizer stores. But both chemicals are readily available on ebay.
cinnamon has two type nah....which type of cinnamon is used to extract cinnamaldyhyde by using steam destilation...????Cinnamon cessia Or cinnamin zeylanicum...??? anyone pls rply me... help me to my final yr project
I'm sorry by my bad English but is this oil safe to flavoring, because I saw that DCM or ether is quite toxic and it might be present at the final yield.
Depends on how thorough you can dry. If you have access to f.i. a vacuum pump & a drying chamber[dessicator/vacuum oven[ dont forget to add boiling stones/glass pearls]] you can reduce its quantity to a level thats safe.
