In today's video, I'll be making a neurotransmitter called Dopamine! This compound regulates many functions in the body but is mainly associated with feelings of motivation! So follow me today as I turn vanilla flavoring into dopamine!
Enjoy! :)

Since so many people seem to be asking, dopamine is not psychoactive and will not get you high. Medically it’s used to increase blood pressure as it does not cross the blood brain barrier and no I will not eat it lol.
Science is Fun ❤
He noted the effect early on.
Do you have any extra Glass you don't use that you can donate to me ? Even just a few pcs that would be awesome. Thanks
@@JonathanTyndallNCdoes not cross the blood-brain barrier...so no, it wouldn't help with that.
Then why the hell is he making it ?
A tip from someone else with a ton of random assorted chemicals: cataloge them all in a journal or word doc. Otherwise you'll never remember what things you have when you need them.
Personally I have an MSDS binder, and the quantity written down in the section. Though I imagine a spreadsheet would be more convenient for checking.
Actually this gives me an idea. Give me a couple weeks/months
Yo thats wild
Yeah...I don't have any chemicals...THAT, I can remember...lol
Better to have stuff you use daily, Knowledge how to make what you need, and no Giant store of pointless chemicals that you'll probably never use, Ever.
When (if) i go through my store, i'll probably dispose of it All.

I see a lot of people with these glass pipes making pure dopamine around my neighbourhood, day and night. Its so heartwarming to see how many hobbyists are taking up DIY science these days and staying off drink and drugs

I know nothing about chemistry but I enjoyed your enthusiasm and am very impressed with your knowledge. And you succeeded, good work!
Dont you dare quit bro! This is your calling, you've definitely got something special here you just need to fine tune your process now (video creation process/chemistry process) and you'll be golden. I very much enjoyed this video and I know a ton of other people did as well. You're gonna blow up and be set for life man...go for it!
How long your thank you was is something you don't see often. Actual appreciation, that more than anything else earned my sub.😊
Man that's super awesome I'm so glad I found your channel can't wait to watch the rest
Longer videos with more breakdown please! This is so fascinating! Great work!
The reaction in the segment where you put on the balloon... I mean, the whole thing is fun but that first few of it where it was spattering that chartreuse and dripping in the steam. It was beautiful in a way I didn't expect.
That was excellent, as an old guy who had been interested in chemistry since a child, I really enjoyed your video, I'll give you a super thanks, keep posting , thank you
SE
Dude you got some talent. Keep at if. You got my attention. Shout out from Australia
So do you smoke this or what?
Excellent work, and don’t beat yourself up over the yields. As you will get better yields with more runs, I can only suggest/stress accuracy of measurements, critical note taking(something I struggle with) and as close to a filtered/clean room environment as possible. And that all is absolutely coming from positive constructive feedback, I enjoyed your video and enthusiasm very much. Personally would love to see more, and I’ve definitely subscribed.!
Speaking of yields, you DON'T get much yields of pleasure from my sister Sheridan's home cooked meals, ovely cooked rubbery meat undercooked veges 😏 I have NO cooking skills yet I somehow deliver high pleasure yields in my cooking that ppl enjoy, while my sis looking at me with daggers as ppl ask for seconds ROTFLMAO 😂
Amazing video, your presentation kept me watching even though I probably didn't understand 75% of what you were talking about. Keep at it and one day you're gonna be an amazing chemist. Stuff is like Chinese language to me. Thanks, looking forward to watching your other vids.
I love your videos! Keep it up, I'm sure your channel will explode in popularity soon
Thanks for the patreon!
@@PyrotechnicalScience :3
Is hoping a chemist's channel "explodes" like telling an actor to break a leg? xD
Cool video man. I think it’s great that you were able to make this most awesome compound! It was frustrating to watch you mess a few things up haha! There is a certain amount of TLC and patience that is required when working in the lab after all :)
I think following this procedure will yield better results if you take time to purify your reagents and solvents first. And then double check your stoichiometry after you have clean reagents. This way your weights are a lot more accurate. The reaction you did to create the nitrostyrene could have benefited from some more time, and perhaps better monitoring of temperature, and defiantly would have been better to extract more times, wash more times and recrystallise with maybe some more washing.
It’s always important to go for purity over time and loss, because as each step continues you are going to introduce more and more different impurities that can have all kinds of side reactions, some of which can be cyclic mechanisms that continue to attack and degrade your reagents or products the entire time they themselves are reacting or forming.
I think you also over shot your ph.
Overall I think you get an A for effort because hell, you actually did the reaction and went to the trouble to make a video, which is 2x more than what I’ve done haha.
But when it comes to execution I think this is a D or C-
Keep up the good work!!
What reducer would you recommend? can diethyl ether be used both for the synthesis and for the subsequent extraction of the product? which is better for reduction al/hcl zn/hcl Hg/al hg/Na naoh/al naoh/zn?
@@user-xb5qt2qn6i for which reaction are you referring to?
I can think of other stuff to do with vanillin... Great video as always!
Fascinating...good work, hey most people couldn't get past the first steps...well done!
Hey Harrison! Great work on this one. I have been waiting for someone to post on this synthesis for years, as the synthesis of phenethylamines from vanillin is well-established in the literature, but incredibly rare to have been filmed. I remember reading and seeing many clandestine chemists use the exact same reactions you have performed today starting from vanillin to form mescaline (and analogs), MDMA, MDA, TMA, and a few other exciting drugs. I know this isn't the scope of your page, but as a chemist, I think it's notable to see how a single reaction, the Henry reaction, has been used to synthesize an incredible array of drugs from one single precursor vanillin.
Few things though. First, vanillin is endothermic and will cool the solution it's being dissolved into (it's not from your evaporative losses that it became cold). Also, be very careful while drying solvents in open air like that. There is a reason chemists have shorter life spans than the general population, and solvent inhalation is one of them. Finally, the reduction you performed could've been optimized. The acid in the reaction serves not only as the "solvent" to maintain a low pH but also as a reactant. The zinc reduction goes through an organo-metallic step which is mediated by proton concentration, and available electrons in solution. The zinc serves to donate these electrons into the solution for the nitro to "pick up". The nitro however is not reduced to an amine just yet, and forgoes a N-OH intermediate which is eliminated in an acid solution. What this means in essence is that all the acid has to be added for the reaction to go to completion and reduce the product, and the reaction must be refluxed after acid addition to fully complete the reaction. I think doing this would've dramatically increased your yield.
Thanks for all the input I really appreciate it! I’ll probably give this another attempt to get some better yields using you’re advice!
@@PyrotechnicalScience of course! Just trying to help as another chemist. Just as an FYI, these zinc/acid reductions are pretty inefficient as is, and as you saw, are messy. My advice is for optimization, but you can only do so much with this reaction before you have to look at better alternatives (hydrides). Still, you did great for your first time! Isopropanol as a solvent definitely took me by surprise, but it seemed to work. Perhaps try another solvent that isn't very misable with water? IPA can be rather polar, so maybe change your extraction solvent if possible. Also, if you're feeling really chemically experimental, see if gallium/Zn amalgam works better in the reduction than the Zn alone, as the reduction you performed most often occurs with the Zn as an amalgam to further push yeilds.
I originally did a LAH reduction but during the work up the flask ignited as an ether fire and destroyed everything :( sadly I only had 6g of LAH so that was a loss. The original patent called for N-butanol but I only had isoprop so had to go with that.
@@PyrotechnicalScience Holy shit man! Lithium Aluminum Hydride is no joke! That could've been very serious, chemists have been killed from LAH fires. I'm very, very thankful you're safe. LAH should be destroyed BEFORE work up, using alcohol or water. I've done LAH reductions before, and the reaction must be scrupulously dry. I personally use THF, which is far more preferable than ether. If you would to perform the reaction use THF as a solvent and dry it vigorously, destroy the LAH with alcohol/water before workup, try and keep the solids slightly wet when you vacuum the inorganics off, and also when working up the solution be aware that some hydrogen will be evolved during the process.
@@science_and_anonymoushello, please tell me what solvent would you recommend for this reaction? I am also planning to synthesize serotonin and dopamine, and was planning to use isopropyl alcohol, what can you advise? should water be added to the solvent, or should 35% hydrochloric acid be added to the zinc without additional water?
Great video! Quite a storeroom you got there, think I saw a whole glove box in the back. Also I’ve lost product raw dogging a vaccum pump like that before so now I always put a piece of cotton wool in the top of the vial

I can totally relate to the bad yields. The tar too. At least you didn't accidentally polymerize your crystals like I did on my last project.
Congrats on creating the dopamine, definitely a lot of work.
Totally jealous of the big haul. Also, there's something weirdly comforting seeing others use the same cheap stir plate that I do.
don't quit kiddo! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. And the genuine excitement when you created the Dopamine! Subscribing NOW!
Great video buddy, thoroughly enjoyed it...btw, you are just adorable and brilliant.
Not so much what you made,but how intuitive and knowledgeable you truly are. I love science,nothing like what you do. Keep up the good work. Detication pays off.
Oh for real? i am wondering if "detication" would work for me. turn down your bunsen burner and grab a dictionary sweets, and stop encouraging irresponsible jerks online!
Dedication sweetie
guy just cured my depression
A very smart young man. Keep up the good work your very talented and an inspiration to any young study..
I enjoyed the video and even tho the yield wasn't that great that's to be expected one your first run hope to see more videos
WOW!! What a super nice gift/score. It looks like it was given a good home, to the right person. I love the fascinating science/craft/philosophy that is the world of chemistry. Had I been imbued with 12 X the main sequence lifespan of a healthy human, I know I could spend that entire time pursuing the study of it and still know just a wisp of what there is to learn.. Everyone is a bit of a chemist, if they have ever cooked food 4 example... So I just use existing products of chemistry, for better living.
I'm getting ready to create Italian meringue butter cream, with vanilla, of course.
This looks amazing something new to learn good video!
What a boon for your channel, Kevin seems like hes a pretty cool guy. Can't wait to see how you put that stuff to use. No back to watching this vid. cheers
Awesome haul! 😎👍
For the “one-speed” stir plate. The control knob may be oxidized inside. You may be able to spray some deoxit or similar into the control knob and twist it back and forth to work the spray in. After it’s had time to dry give it a try again, you may be able to regulate the speed afterwards.
The spray is also great for amps, old Hi-Fi equipment, etc. where controls don’t work, or make a lot of static when used.
Be sure to wear eye protection, gloves and use it in a well ventilated area.
or wd40?
Power it through a ceiling fan speed control, or a variac.
Cool video! How come that you get all that as a present?! You are better equipped than I could get at most of my university chemistry labs😮! it seems wonderful!🤩
If someone else is giving up old labware and reactives in Colombia I would very gladly take it !
OMG, the GLASSWARE! That IS heaven!
Great video and I look forward to more.
I got excited near 11:00. I thought he was teaching us a new way to synth molly lol. Literally why I started studying organic chem.
This is actually a very old reduction method (dissolving metal reduction). These were used extensively before the discovery of hydride reagents and catalytic reduction. Old chemistry textbooks (like pre-1950s) are full of reductions using sodium metal, zinc amalgam etc.
I think it would be easier to splice a gene using crispr, you'd have to do it once and be done.
I’m a physics major and currently in a dilemma, I love physics and organic chemistry , maybe I can minor in organic chem?
I love molly 🥰

@@manipuluslux8174what'd you find?

Hey good work my friend, keep on keeping on
Yo those folgers filter papers are great for general purposes
Be carefull with the Karter si 5L beaker they can break pretty easy so if your heating it especially anything sketchy beware. I would be cautious of doing anything other than mixing at room temp. Planning for it to possibly break.
Honestly, with all of the experience I have, I'm impressed with two things. One, the fact that you had the attention span beyond what is typical of your age group and, Two that you accomplished the intended result. I can only imagine how amazing you could be, with a little more discipline, and a real laboratory. Keep it up kid, we need more minds like you. Best
Ok, boomer.
@@throtmorton2326 Wrong again, as usual.
Now I do have a couple pairs of those safety goggles. Safety among the top three!
Incidentally, one of my pairs is in my bike bag because the front tire of my bike has a nasty habit of spraying water over my glasses and into my eyes when it rains and that's obviously not safe so I put my chemistry goggles on whenever I'm riding in the rain. It's funny because, back when I was taking chemistry in college, I'd also use my lab coat as a regular coat. My yoga teacher asked me why I didn't have a regular coat and I told her that my lab coat would be fine since, after all, it's designed to protect a person from chemicals and water is a chemical. lol
With all of your fancy new (to you) glassware, it would be valuable to have an old school video on repairing or fusing glass chemically, without chemical glues or epoxies.
Don't keep concentrated peroxide around for a long time and don't get it near acetone. Oh, and ice-cold acetone can be useful for cleaning up a fresh batch of fish flakes.
Or at least put it in an amber colored glass container. I had some of that 30% in a glass bottle with an eye dropper, it ruined the rubber dropper, I guess from linking the cross polymer chains/vulcanization.. That stuff is dangerous, don't spill it on your skin for certain!!!! Lol

From one chemist to another, the reason your yield was so low was because you did not taste the forbidden mustard.
I'm interested in making muster gas. Any suggestions ?
i relish mustard gas on liquid hot dogs,
and finally after 20 steps we get coffee
DAMN IT SON!! Put a SOUND WARNING ON THIS DAMN THING!! That damn dinging had the neighbors over here thinking I stood up without checking my lap first! (😉 you too huh)
now can you eat the dopamine? or smoke it or how does that work or can you injest it at all? and also what are you going to do with it ccause id be willing to try some out for you channel if you was sure its safe to consume?
Question is: NOW what you gunna DO with it?
Very nice!
But always do purification steps before melting point tests. Impurities can change the melting point a lot. For an extreme "example" google "deep eutectic solvent".
Wow score from the BY scientist! Good on him. Great video too. 👍👍
And you definitely DON'T suck at chemistry lol. You did great
The yeild was low because the reduction did not go well as a result of the zinc preferentially reacting to the HCl. Aluminum activated with gallium or mercury works better. The amount of either one iactivstor is stupidly small as well.
Well the more you do this reaction, the better it will get. Maybe a distillation or two would help to purify the product. Lots of my yields were super small too. That's the real world of chemistry. I think they get higher yields using computers and stuff for the professional manufacturers or, better yet, they probably splice the gene responsible for making human dopamine into a microorganism because no one makes it better than a cell with the gene telling it to make it.
what happens if you ingest or intake that some other way?
Bro, this is my favorite chem video in CZcams
Great video! Enjoyed the quotes; "Check out the hair, ""Ahhhaaa, My balloon, god damnit!" Did you know that redheads basically sweat different types of vanillan?

That a Corning PC-320 heater/stirrer I see in the cabinet? I got a lot a lot of service out of mine, had to fix it a couple times and looking up the info one comes to the conclusion that Corning treats that model like a red-headed step child.
For the Henry reaction, you could use many other lower aliphatic amines, and even some aromatic ones, potassium hydroxide in methanol works too, as does ethylene diamine, many things that are basic enough to pull of the rather acidic alpha hydrogen on the nitromethane, or nitroethane (sodium nitrite and ethyl halide)..you can make you sodium nitrite from sodium nitrate and sodium sulfate, it's a thermate reaction, not thermite...
I thought about using another base but the literature gave best yields with methylamine so I decided not to push my luck on it lol
@@PyrotechnicalScience I'm assuming you are familiar with that "Elemental" site Rhodium ? sshh...my bible actually....
You probably made more dopamine in your brain from completing the process than in the beaker! But I’m sure you’re gonna be a great chemist since you’re obviously very enthusiastic about it! That’s the key to being good at anything. 🤙
Seratonin. Too lol
@@richardmcgonigle1160Your body cant make Dopamine and Serotonin at the same time.
The both pathways use the same rate limiting enzyme in the last step to synthesize L-DOPA > Dopamine, and 5-HTP > Serotonin.
But this has a lot to do with when they're used.
Dopamine is not exactly a reward neurotransmitter in how it sounds like it is. Its the anticipation of the reward. It makes you want something, to seek it out, to motivate you to get up off the couch and go do whatever needs to be done to get the reward.
But its not the actual getting of the reward, only the wanting. Serotonin is the getting.
So it means Dopamine levels peak the highest right at that very moment that you know you've secured the reward and when you can literally see it. The very second you get it Dopamine starts to fall.
Then in order for you to feel the satisfaction from the reward Serotonin is released.
Its what happens in addiction especially things that target Dopamine because it prevents satisfaction which is essential otherwise your constantly stuck in the wanting mode.

@@serins4096 oh yeah,

The de-methylation of vanillin is notoriously difficult, and almost always low yielding. That methoxy group is very stable and requires pretty significant catalysts to be removed, such as AlBr3/Pyridine. This is the first time I've seen a possible success from HBr ad reflux alone, but then again, we now no longer have that aldehyde on the ring giving stability. I would bet the ring is de-stabilized enough for halogenation and substitution if 3,4,5 substituted phenethylamines are your thing.
I hear sassafras and think of MD 😂

You should look into DMSO. Those with strokes can be given DMSO. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease
By Dr. Stanley Jacobs & Dr. Jack de la Torre
This stuff is a game changer. It protects cells from radiation, fixes misfolded proteins (they say Parkinson’s disease is just misfolded proteins), helps immature brain cells mature & it helps repair DNA. DMSO comes from the cell wall of trees. If given to a stroke patient soon enough they can have complete recovery it helps with paralysis as long as the spinal cord is not severed they can have a complete recovery, helps chemo target cancer cells while protecting the other cells from radiation, it’s also been shown on its own to kill cancer cells and it’s a pain reliever, muscle relaxant, anti inflammatory & non habit forming , helps patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD all this with no adverse effects.

You wouldn’t happen to have a spare kilo of this stuff? (asking for a friend)
Is this considered an amphetamine (class). I guess the more correct question is: when or does it cross the BBB (blood brain barrier) ??
Wondering the same. I think hospitals use this or something called DOPA for surgeries or traumatic injury I'm pretty sure.
This is a phenethylamines not an amphetamine. However amphetamines are a subclass of phenethylamines. If nitroethane was substituted for nitromethane the result would be the amphetamine anolouge of dopamine.
Eating dopamine does not produce any effect because it cannot cross the blood brain barrier effectively. Though intravenous injection of dopamine can be used to treat some cardiovascular issues.
Very cool stuff. I have a question. What machine should I get for suction
