    I think that a simple TLC could have told you if the first reaction was finished or not, the two products should have a pretty significant difference in Rf. I've seen reductions use 0.5-0.75 equivalents of NaBH4 (although it's usually used as 2-4 eq. because it's so cheap), so the stoichiometry should not be the issue here.

  • @camj4631
    @camj4631 3 месяца назад +1

    The mechanism in alcohols goes via the tetraalkoxy borane, which is more reducing as far as I know but you also lose potential reducing moles through the production of hydrogen. For sure having some hydroxide around stabilises the borohydride and I think there's a list somewhere of cations to add if you want to do something more exotic with borohydride (underrated reducing agent)

  • @r9341-tss1
    @r9341-tss1 3 месяца назад +1

    With the mechanism for reduction, in theory it should procede 4 times until a borate salt is formed. The borate is then hydrolysed in mild acid to yield boric acid, borates and your alcohol. In neutral conditions, you expect to see the borates. However what I will say from experience, LiAlH4 reductions often use 1:1 mols with the species to be reduced and the mechanism of reduction is similar, so maybe that's why you need to add more NaBH4. Perhaps adding things in one portion generates enough heat to allow the reaction to fully proceed? Who knows.

    Hello. Can you help with choosing a solvent-catalyst system for the transamidation reaction? In the literature I read about a method using CuOAc in tert-amyl alcohol at 140°C, can it be replaced with some high boiling solvent? For example, glycerin. True, then the question arises of how to separate the product. The boric acid catalyst also requires high temperatures and shows high yields with liquid amines with no solvent at all (my reagents have a high melting point), and using, for example, xylene, shows low yields, according to the paper. Perhaps you have heard of other acceptable systems? I don't have such a wide selection of available catalysts and solvents

    Could an ozoneolysis work on this too? Or would it attack the double bonds in the benzene ring too bro?

    • @Thiosulfate506
      @Thiosulfate506 3 месяца назад +1

      The benzene rings are what's known as aromatic and don't actually have double bonds. They are just often drawn like that (the relevant search term is resonance). So, no they won't participate in an ozonolysis reaction. Ozonolysis usually referes to the oxidative cleavage of alkenes, alkynes and rarely azo compounds. I am not aware of any kind of ozonolysis reaction that could occure here. Ozone is a strong oxidizing agent and for sure won't reduce the carbonyl to an alkohol like sodium borohydride, but there might be some reaction with ozone cleaving the molecule at the carbonyl group and forming e.g. benzoic acid, but I'm not aware of that and I would assume that, if it does exist, such a reaction would have poor yields and many side-products. Under different conditions you might be able to use ozone to do the reverse reaction (oxidation of diphenylmethanol to benzophenone). Hope this helps

    So I was thinking about you. Dimethylamine is required for lysergic chemistry. Also hydrazine the anhydrous hydrazine mandates nitrogen gas as O2 likely causes explosion. The hard part is obtaining ergot to begin isolating ergotamine. What Id suggest is look for organic farms the plant rye or less likely wheat. Then if you find ergot you will want to learn about mycelium and fungus groth. Using mycological grade molasses for 48 hours then isolate using chromatography. You want the glow in the dark blueish substance however use some of the fungal spores to inoculate the following year rye you plant. This can give you a very interesting life. Dont forget the red and yellow safety lights.

    To generate borane as the active reducing agent, protonolysis of BH4(-) with MeOH evolves H2, so one hydride is lost. I just made a post about the mechanism based on a paper published 5 months ago after an email chain with the author. I showed the reduction of benzoin to hydrobenzoin in a recent video and spent a lot of time looking into the mechanism because it's still not fully understood. I could be wrong, but it seems like borohydride has 2-3 active hydrides in alcoholic solutions- I'm not sure if the intermediate MeOBH2 has to undergo another protonolysis with MeOH to generate the active reducing agent. If it does, then borohydride has 2 active hydrides in alcoholic solutions, if not, it has 3. My point is that it's highly likely that sodium borohydride doesn't have 4 active hydrides for reductions in alcoholic solutions.

      Borane/Borohydride reductions can be somewhat unintuitive from a mechanistic standpoint since boron likes to act as an electrophile/Lewis acid due to its lack of valence electrons, while also creating hydride nucleophiles due to its low electronegativity.

    Okay but why has Benadryl been around for so long but the hat man hasn't been referenced before 2000? Why were there not reports of common delusions and hallucinations with large amounts of Benadryl before? Did no one just take too much Benadryl until the year 2000?

      The answer is the mass adoption of the internet.
      There will be many reports prior to 2000, but since not a great deal of people were on the internet prior to this, those reports would not have been digital (existing in cyberspace)

      I remember reading about that one. Basically, scientists at CIBA were like:

    d-... did you say "expecially"?
    BTW for anyone reading this, DPH gives you early onset dementia (don't take my word for it, look it up). Pretty weak for this video not to mention that.

    Methanol react with NaBH4 at room temperature, that's why all MeOH/NaBH4 reaction should be be performed in an ice bath below 10C.
    Also NaBH4 react really slowly with water and many reduction are performed in alcohol/water or just water (even at high temperatures), so water is not the problem

      Weirdly enough, the procedure I followed did it at rt

      @@chemdelic try adding NaBH4 in methanol (1g in 5/10ml), you should see some bubbles and as reaction proceed it warms up, getting more and more vigorous until il boils out. Or at least that's my experience with it:)
      Please report back!

    Man, as someone who tried DPH (and saw hatman), do NOT do it ... please, you'll regret it.
    If you want to test some dr*gs, try classical psychedelics, it is way funier and better for you.

    didnt you just talk mad NaBH4 gibberish? how is multiplying by 1 reducing it, instead of 4???
    youre just using less nabh4, because you thought it didnt reduce?
    the product is likely fine, you just need to was out the residual borates, either add some acid to destroy any remaining nabh4, or wash thouroughly with water.
    also for the next reaction, add a tiny amount of koh to stabalize the nabh4

    • @chemdelic

      In theory that molar amount works. In practice people generally use 1:1. Of course it likely worked with the amount in the procedure, I just used more to calm my mind about using that specific amount. And yes using KOH would have helped, I just wanted to follow the procedures best as I could :)

      @contomo5710 3 месяца назад

      i just find it strange that you ended with more product than you started with, i highly doubt it had much water left since your drying seemed to be reasonable.
      NaBH4 is pretty alright in MeOH, with water you usually stabalize.
      just for NaBH4 it doesnt really degrade that fast, so neutralization by acidifying would be a good choice, or when poured down your drain, youre kinda at risk of causing a hydrogen poof somewhere in the sewers
      i also would like to point out that scaling a reaction by 35 pretty far from following a procedure as best as you can
