Just a larger sized reflux with a homogeneous reaction mixture in it.

Filtering out the product of a diazotation. It has an awesome color due the copper(2+) ions.
Have You seen my portfolio? It’s over here: http://labphoto.tumblr.com/tagged/portfolio
tritium asked: did you do a crossed aldol-catalytic hydrogenation to make the raspberry ketone?
Yes, exactly. Look up some older posts, and you will see how did it went, from step to step(:
A large amount of freshly prepared and recrystallized rheosmin (also called raspberry ketone). The only problem that is has almost no smell at all, but according to the NMR spectra it is perfectly pure.
We have just made some metallic silver from scrap, approx. 250g with a ~99,99% purity.
It was melted in a ceramic crucible with an oxygene/methane torch, under circa 1h. The silver was liquified under a layer of borax (it prevents the oxidation of the molten silver).
After all have melted we just dropped it in a bucket of water and took out this shiny lump of this beautiful metal.
Should I write it down of you know it? Chemistry is AWESOME!
FIRE IN THE LAB!
Joke, just burning out the acetone from the filtered metallic silver.
Gunk, gunk, gunk and gunk. Dry distillation of furanecarboxylic acid yields furane and CO2, it’s an easy decarboxylation. The problem is that it also produces a massive amount of tarry byproduct.
Distilling something sweet.
This nice reddish color is caused by a little iodine contamination.
An awesome reaction, what behaved as described. The only problem was that my compound disappeared from it. Not in the organic layer and not in the water phase. WHY?
