The reaction would definitely change, but sometimes the change can be a cool one. If it is too slow though, I imagine the "dark phase" would last really long and might never clear. If it's too fast, i2 might never build up. It could be cool to shorten the dark phase though

It is weird because it is supposed to work with acetone . When I tried, it turns black and fails to revert back. Those others might work

Thanks!

Well done, nice video. You voice is very good sounding, clear and instructional.

Also you mentioned it won't work with acetone (I'm not surprised) but it may work with acetylacetone. Worth a try! Also hydroxyacids (malic, citric).

I wonder if the reaction would still occur with higher homologs from the OMSGA series (oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic). It definitely wouldn't work with oxalic as it lacks an active methylene, and if it works with succinic/glutaric/adipic I would expect it to become slower as their methylenes are less reactive than the malonic acid one.
