Making Ammonium Formate

In this video we make some ammonium formate from ammonium carbonate and formic acid. It was supposed to be used to convert vanillin to vanillin amine, but there was a problem with the synthesis and it doesn't seem to work. The vanillin amine is a precursor to things like capsaicin and other spicy compounds. I still thought the video might be interesting though, so I am posting it anyway. Let me know if you have any other cool ways to use ammonium formate Nile talks about lab safety: https://y
