Lobsters are actually a really interesting animal despite being very boring at surface level. I didn’t know this until recently, but lobsters don’t really stop growing, and they rarely die from old age alone. They tend to die from predation, or because eventually they get so big that they can’t molt their shells anymore so it kills them. But like theoretically if you could manually molt a lobsters shell, you could probably keep one alive forever. And it would just keep getting bigger.

You would have to elimination reactions (E2) on a benzene ring to get rid of the hydroxy function groups. U would have to consider alpha, beta, theta carbons. No way heat and pressure alone are changing this into a diamond.

You as-well!! Thanks for the facts I enjoyed them

“Geophysicist Dan Frost at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut in Germany developed a method to create synthetic diamonds from peanut butter by mimicking the extreme pressure and temperature conditions found in the Earth's lower mantle. Because peanut butter is rich in carbon, high-pressure equipment removes oxygen and rearranges the carbon atoms into a crystal lattice, creating real, albeit small, diamonds” I rest my case

I’m 100% sure they are using a catalyst to remove the hydroxy groups. It would burn far before the heat and pressure would change it into a diamond. If I’m wrong I’m sorry but this doesn’t make sense to me at all.

Under such extreme conditions you have to remember that traditional rules of chemistry like needing a catalyst or worrying about burning get kinda thrown out of the window (burning requires oxygen) This experiment basically obliterated the molecular structure of the peanut butter and its hydroxy groups and just left behind carbon atoms that turned into diamond lattice. The pressure was so high it stripped away hydrogen and oxygen physically.
