Allyl Alcohol and Allyl Bromide From Pineapple Perfume

Duration: 9:25

Allyl alcohol and allyl bromide are two important precursors that are somewhat under-represented in the hobby chemistry community. And since I need the latter chemical to synthesize an ultra-potent caffeine analog in an upcoming video, I'll be showing how to make both in this video! Want to support LabCoatz? Of course you do!

Caution must be taken when handling these chemicals and their precursors (sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, and sodium hydroxide are all highly corrosive).
