Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce

I just joined the patreon channel and a little disappointed that there is very little new content?

John Paul

Since when did you get an NMR?

Ryan Yanashima

Ethanol is alcohol

Jayden Rheel

once again you did a good job

This was long overdue. I have watched your videos since may 2014. I discovered your channel via a channel recommendation on NurdRages channel on making schweizer's reagent. I consistently watched all your videos which was rare for me since I was literally 13 when I found your channel. I always loved chem and your channel was one of the few great channels that really kept me going. . The videos were and are incredible, and I figured that it was time to give some support. I still cant believe that your face reveal and lab moves still feel like they were yesterday. I am really happy to see you get some well deserved recognition. Thank you for everything.

The amount that I was tasting was small enough that the risk was minimal. Especially with the spectroscopic data. It is still technically a risk though and I definitely don't recommend doing it.

Nile Red

Thank you!!

Nile Red

That was one of the best videos on YouTube. Finally became a patron.

Sebastian Kiefl

It seemed pretty wild to me that ethanol was left in the final product and you ate it

Brandon

Not a chem major, but how risky is it for there to be something toxic left over in the final result that you end up eating? Also, looking forward to a cooking channel done in the same style.

Yiding Jia

“This is exactly how it was supposed to end.” Loved it! So great!

It's like my pain over the years of NP synthesis concentrated in one video: Never change the literature procedure unless with hard evidences. Always leave reserve intermediate and do small test at first. Never throw away anything (like the aquious phase of extraction or the silica gel of FCC) until final confirmation of success. Also I thought you would just run samples at other facilities. My jaw dropped when you took out that NMR. The specs seems better than what I thought would be look like.

Li Yuanhe

Great video, and I am looking forward to more of the "cutting edge" projects!

Anton Markov

Once again you have nailed it! It was well worth the $ 10! Entertaining and good. :)

Alf-Marius Dahl Bysveen

Another ridiculously awesome project. I'm impressed at your patience on this. Oh, about that "bad at cooking" - show me a cook that can make hot sauce from *those* ingredients. 😄

sooooo, next up we gonna see a collab with first we feast?

Awesome video. I have waited for this since the grape flavor video. I have some idea that maybe work to oxidize the isononanol with KMnO7. If you use a phase-transfer catalyst or PTC that could work. I have done something similar with the PTC aliquat 336. I oxidize benzhydrol to benzophenone (a sunscreen similar to a sunscreen you made a couple of years ago). I'm not to deep in NMR but i read that the magnets musst be cooled with liquid Helium to work. I can imagine that this can be expensive. But anyway its cool that you can gear up to give us this amazing videos.

Kuro Kenshin

Maybe there is a way to make a cyanide complex from nitrile gloves, since nitrile is a CN group.

Matthew Wilson

Wanting to see this as a NileGreen parody on NileRed's actual channel. I know you made grape flavor in the past, so this is probably not a parody in any form. :)

Matthew Wilson

That was epic! Well done. Must have been exhausting making that video. It's amazing (to me, a non-chemist) how many organic substances can be synthesised from vanillin and Isovanillin . 👏

Amro

Someone pointed this out in the video comments but just wanted to raise here that Chromic Acid is mislabeled as the trioxide (around 11:45)

Zach Heilman

whoah this is a feature length production

Joe Francis

Are we all just going to ignore "I shot in all of my goopy liquid"?

Gary Virta

Seriously, I looked it up right away and my jaw dropped

Gary Virta

hot ones interview with Neilred but he brings the hot sauce!

Sunny Bär

It was an awesome video and project! I'm glad to see that despite all your hardships, you managed to acheive your goal! And being able to transform plastic gloves and vanilla to hot sauce blows my mind. Your channel reminded me how much I loved chemistry.

Geth Platform

Heyy, i was wondering why you, when you wanted to convert the Vanilin to the amine, did not just convert the Aldehyde to the Imine with Ammonia and then reduced it with NaBH4. This was what came straight to my mind, because its a pretty common way to get amines. Would love you to elaborate on that :)

Aaron

Nice to see you're back, your vids are always a joy to watch.

Daniel Williams

Holy spice, what a killer project! I hope it was at least 10% as fun as it was soul consuming. And once i thought you had beaten the final chemistry boss when you made glove soda, but you've just moved to another level. You were literally risking your life there to make it, that's admirable. Mmmmm a new shiny NMR, a decent investment 👍 "A nice bath" gets me every time.

Marta

You are right! Thank you for pointing that out!

Nile Red

Hey Nile, I hate to nitpick but I think I noticed an error at 11:47 when you label the Chromic acid as chromium trioxide. I could also be wrong and just misunderstanding the diagram.

Will Cherry

Can you add those section/chapter things so we can better navigate this beast?

Max Goldstein

The YouTube shorts have been fun!! But ... There's nothing like a full project to see your mad genius in full glory.

Alexander Kirk

Soo happy for this!! Thank you for your hard work poured into this!! 🔥

Catherine

I love the casual mention of a ($55k) new NMR machine in passing. That could be great for some shorts!

New drinking game: take a shot every time a separatory funnel gets used

SkaveRat

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Step aside, gamer girl. Chemist boy is back.

Coby Tang

I got my NileRed beaker mug with tea in it let's goooo!

Owen T

I can't believe this came out the week I started supporting Nile! #blessed 🤠

Ronnie

so happy you’re back nigel! excited to see your latest project 💛💛

Alex Garcia

Nonivamide! I've been so excited for this one!
