Warning: Cadaverine is absolutely putrid and it taints everything that it comes into contact with. It also does not wash off too easily.
This video was more of a proof of concept than an actual synthesis. The amount of lysine and sodium bicabonate used was relatively arbitrary.
In this video I use two methods to produce cadaverine:
1. Basic heating: This is not very efficient and burns a lot of the cadaverine.
2. Destructive distillation: I use an improvised destructive distillation setup. This method is much more efficient because it is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere. Higher temperatures can be used without risking burning.
I honestly did not proceed further in the second method because of the putrid smell. A lot more cadaverine was produced and the smell was making me nauseous.
The lysine hydrochloride can be purchased from health supplement stores. I got 250g for about $17 shipped from www.purebulk.com
