Welcome to the 2nd Fan Follow-Up Episode of Molecular Playground! In this one, I go back to an old experiment and redo it with a much better method. In this case, I make real polyphosphoric acid!

Correction: At the end, I meant ALDOL Condensation NOT Claisen Condensation! Claisen condensation needs a strong base to proceed.
