Similarly, there are a lot of ways to synthesize methylamine, and this video documents one of the routes that hasn't really been explored! Some other methylamine syntheses: @integral_chemistry with a few different methods (including acetamide, hexamine, and formaldehyde/ammonium chloride): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaGNQVe9bX0 @chemdelic for a take on the nitromethane reduction using tin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAn0krT1Qlo @THYZOID and his high-yielding sulfamic acid/methanol pathway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU9qJRfISIk Also, go support @TheCanadianChemist! He deserves some support after YouTube gave him a mandatory hiatus for the last three months...at least they gave him back his channel. This video DOESN'T contain harmful, significantly dangerous, or illegal content. It also doesn't show how to make drugs or psychoactive substances. But, since YouTube is about as smart as a pile of rocks, I'll say this anyway: this is video is SCIENTIFIC and made for EDUCATIONAL purposes. Don't replicate what you see, unless you understand the risks. 0:00 Intro: YouTube has issues 1:18 Bringing awareness 1:39 The many routes to methylamine 4:12 Reagents (some of them) 4:40 Making hydrogen 5:08 Nitromethane solution 5:46 Some issue (of course) 6:19 Success...and more issues 7:08 Recovering the methylamine 8:19 Final yield and comparison 8:39 Diethylamine synth coming up!
