Making Tear Gas So I Can Cry Like A Man

In this video I will show you how to make CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile). CS is an extremely potent tear gas used by the military but also for self defence. I will show you the synthesis of it and also test it on myself. On top of that you will also see how to make pyrrolidine which is an alternative catalyst to piperidine that's normally required for the Knoevenagel condensation.
