Carrot Chemistry Shouldn't Work... but it DOES!

Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. In this video, I discuss the use of... carrots as reducing agents for ketones. Yes this is real, no it isn't a joke, yes it is hilarious. I want to give a huge thank you to the members of the Discord that made this video possible!

Conditions for the first reduction - 100 mg acetophenone, 70 ml water, 10 g carrot.
Upon reprocessing the spectra, the ratio of product to SM was 62% prod/38% SM.
