"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

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

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?

When I turned 25 I was legit deeply concerned that I had not yet written The Great American Novel, now at 56 if I could time travel back to meet that young fellow worried about not having birthed a True Work of Timeless Art in his first quarter century, I would, lovingly, turn the hose upon him

I need to hear this as a late 20-something who's worried that if I haven't had a solid career since 18, my life is pointless.

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?”
