In this video I make what I believe is trinitromethane in possibly the worst yields known to man. I hope to improve this result in future. The extraction method seems kind of bad. The usual method involves distillation but I was worried about that causing an explosion. To simulate this in a more safe manner, I instead extract with DCM and then throw my flask onto the concrete.

Im a slob chemist, and have never changed my vacuum pump oil. So, in this video I treat my vintage 1950s workhorse to some low vapour pressure love and care.
