    I love the deep introspection after such a huge accomplishment. Congratulations!

      Oh man, Destin has been following along? Nice to see you man, I'd love to see a collaboration between you two!

    Let's hope CZcams doesn't flag this one. And remember: If you've turned on notificaitions or subscriptions and don't see my video in there (at least after an hour or so), report the bug to youtube to fix it. They'll listen to you more than they'll listen to me.
    Anyway, thanks for standing by me. This would never have gotten done without all of you supporting me.
    Break out the champagne, we've succeeded.

    The acetone contamination more than likely is from the nmr tube. Acetone is commonly used to clean the tubes and to get rid of all traces usually requires vacuum and IR lamp.

    The people who thumb down this video are not very intelligent. This whole process of synthesizing this drug has been such a great learning opportunity and has expanded my point of view of OTC viability. Bravo Dr. Butyl Lithium AKA (NerdRage)! Your an amazing chemist.

      same drug

    • @nickelless2362
      @nickelless2362 Před 6 lety +67

      It was Martin Shkreli, he jacked the prices up by 5000% and later down the line got arrested for fraud charges I believe.

    • @ryancl03

  • @MSDX360
    @MSDX360 Před 6 lety +32

    Like +Charles Augustus said I think you should publish this in a science journal. You have proven that synthesis method and that it can be acomplished in an relatively amateur lab. Moreso you actually have video evidence on how to synthesize it from the beggining to end. As always nice work, you have my congratulations as always on the brilliant videos and brilliant chemistry +NurdRage. Keep up this awesome work, I wish my Chem teachers in college we're as engaging as you.

    Congratulations on finally completing this project! I've been watching your channel since 2012 while I was going through my chemistry series, while working on my ME degree, and enjoyed each new video you came out with. I know this has been a very trying project for you and it almost had you to the point of giving up, but you finished it. I'm not a patron of you, but after all the enjoyment I've gotten from your videos, I think it's only right that I become one. Thanks for doing what you do and please don't stop. This project was fascinating and I'd love to see more.

  • @mduckernz
    @mduckernz Před 6 lety +1

    *Congratulations!* You are awesome. This was a massive undertaking. Even relatively simple procedures, with a couple of steps, are major undertakings when you must also synthesise many or almost all of the precursors, as you did by necessity. And this was not _that_ simple even _if_ you had the precursors. So, well done! What an excellent series. This will serve as inspiration for many a beginner chemist, I'm sure 😁
