You: They did the math.

Me: ᵀʰᵉʸ ᵈⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿˢᵗᵉʳ ᵐᵃᵗʰ

You: What was that?

Me: Nothing.

Ah…I miss the old #ChemTw…
I mean the before times

"It's true that in previous reactions, many or most reactants have been balanced across the equation, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary" #ChemSky

Calling your reaction “metal-free” just because the metal isn’t d-block is…certainly a choice

Naturally

Final Nobel predictions:
- Installing a reactive handle in step 1, then calling it late-stage functionalisation after swapping some protecting groups around
- Adding a drop of water to your reaction mixture and calling it "green"
- Pioneering the use of "unprecedented" in paper titles

The person who convinced so many that alkaline water is the answer

I enjoyed the heck out of this…

Oh no sorry dude. Enjoy the barn I suppose - best of luck to you all

Do you have one of the NE CT crumbling foundations?

Do they sell them pre-splattered with wing sauce? Or do you have to do that by yourself?

A step too far…

Amen - sauté with little garlic first and get them some color

I’ve done this but backwards and it works well - benzyl alcohol and CDI in DCM (or toluene- it’s been a while) and then react with amine

You can even flash the benzoyl-imidazole if needed - stores well in fridge too - made a series of substituted benzyl carbamates for a project years ago

“Did you get my email?”

Umm I don’t think so

“Well I really needed that info”

You should have reminded me…

“What, by email?”

I know not these words you use.

And we had paper journals to read…like a book
That were passed around thru office mail
No Scifinder - CAS abstract service that only a few people could use, a library and copier machines
No PMC No outsourcing everything handmade

“Reminiscing” about working at Pharma in the early 90s. Like last century #ChemSky
Vax Mainframe (yes really)
No email
Ordering? Look it up in Aldrich catalog -fill out requisition by hand in quadruplicate-drop in office mail-wait multiple weeks
But we did have Bunsen Burners to pull TLC pipets…1/

They’re the Only Cookies In The Building

Pro tip: Do NOT under any circumstances take the pepperoni off a single slice of pizza and extract it with heptanes in the lab to find out how much fat they contain.
The human mind is unable to comprehend this

(I watched someone do this - “startling” was the word)
