Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce
🕑 Added 2022-02-24 02:48:09 +0000 UTCHey guys, it has been a long time, but I am finally back! This video has been a lot of work to make and it's also by far the longest and most difficult project I've ever done (in terms of both filming and editing).
I hope you like it! Let me know if you see any errors or problems with the video.
Also, as usual, this isn't the final version. The final one will have all of the Patron credits at the end!

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

Since when did you get an NMR?
Jayden Rheel
Ethanol is alcohol
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!!

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

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

โThis is exactly how it was supposed to end.โ 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.

Great video, and I am looking forward to more of the "cutting edge" projects!
Alf-Marius Dahl Bysveen
Once again you have nailed it! It was well worth the $ 10! Entertaining and good. :)

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. ๐

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.

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. :)
Amro
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 . ๐
Zach Heilman
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)
Joe Francis
whoah this is a feature length production
Gary Virta
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

hot ones interview with Neilred but he brings the hot sauce!
Geth Platform
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.
Aaron
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 :)
Daniel Williams
Nice to see you're back, your vids are always a joy to watch.
Marta
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 ๐ "A nice bath" gets me every time.
Nile Red
You are right! Thank you for pointing that out!
Intrepid
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.

Can you add those section/chapter things so we can better navigate this beast?
Alexander Kirk
The YouTube shorts have been fun!! But ... There's nothing like a full project to see your mad genius in full glory.
Catherine
Soo happy for this!! Thank you for your hard work poured into this!! ๐ฅ
Evan Swain
I love the casual mention of a ($55k) new NMR machine in passing. That could be great for some shorts!

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

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

I can't believe this came out the week I started supporting Nile! #blessed ๐ค
Alex Garcia
so happy youโre back nigel! excited to see your latest project ๐๐
Evan Swain
Nonivamide! I've been so excited for this one!
