  I am convinced that this channel is a social experiment to test how fast you can get arrested by the DEA from making Youtube videos

  SWIM once made piperonal by dumping piperine into a jar with acetone and a little water, then blasting the solution inside said jar with ozone (about 800mg O3 per gram of piperonal). Afterwards he added ether, decomposed the solution by addition of water, seperated the ether layer, evaporated the ether layer and was left with an amber gooey substance with an incredibly seductive smell.<br>The yields were around 40% by mass however he never bothered with recrystallization as he used the goo directly for further fragrance manufacture.

  You should have porous paper timblets instead of the cotton plug. There&apos;s nothing wrong with the soxhlet. It&apos;s the cotton!
