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
