Synthesis of cinnamaldehyde (Aldol condensation) 

You just saved me so much work for my chem assignment Thank you!!

great to see that you're back!

Nice to see you are back making some videos ^^

Very nice! I synthesized p-Methoxy-Cinnamic Acid from Benzaldehyde via Knoevenagel reaction as part of my undergraduate organic chemistry lab course - I'm specialising in inorganic chemistry, but that synthesis was one of my favourites. This one seems more challenging, at least for getting a good yield, but still very interesting to see!

Nice

Nice job! Glad U R with us. Keep on! P.S. Could you please provide a reference to the original synthesis? That would be very helpful.

Sir Can you please make a synthesis of di iodomethane? It is the heaviest organic solvent and it can float an piece of aluminum I think that's why I really like it

that residue tho 🥴 could be cool to try to work it up, might be a mixture of benzoic and cinnamic acid 😊

I recommend using sulfuric acid as the high temperature bath filler. It is horrible to clean the glassware from cooked oil

The yield could be increased by adding acetaldehyde in parts to a solution of benzaldehyde and alkali.

Complex synthesis, since it's a challenge to separate benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde, and they are easily undergo oxidation, the yield was so so, 23%

Have you considered using milder catalysts? Like primary amines?

Is a new apparatus swapped or cleaned before the final product? How do you avoid contamination from the previous distillation.

10:08 do you reuse the same cooking oil for other distillations?

Do aldol condensation of acetone pls

Is it possible use Salicylaldehyde instead of benzaldehyde?

Thank you, brother, but I want you to have the necessary ingredients. I want the ingredients to make a kilo of Bakelite. How much phenol, formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid should I put?

What u r planning to do with this crude cinnamaldehyde???

If you're gonna use chemdraw, please use a common style like ACS1996

ok
