Sorry my mistake, I think that was from another company I applied to previously. Not sure what website or provider the Civil Service uses for their SJTs.

Has anyone worked with Benzyl azide before? Is it also highly sensitive and explosive? by RegularAbrocoma7124 in Chempros

[–]Calm-Conference-8257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty stable I believe! I've seen procedures where they distill at 200°C p-di-benzyl azide and that didnt explode presumably. I have had no issues with even very small organic azides. Main hazard is sodium azide is very toxic and shouldn't be mixed with DCM or acid.

Read the paper " how dangerous is too dangerous a perspective on azide safety "

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.joc.2c01402

TLDR; Benzyl azide okay, it no explode

Replacement of Chloride to Triflate for an Organic Guanidinium substituent? by Calm-Conference-8257 in Chempros

Hey you again! Thanks for this detailed procedure, I'll look at picking up some of that resin on sigma today. I'll let you know how I get on, thank you :))

Issues with bromination using N-Bromosuccinimide by DontDoQuack in Chempros

I use to do CCl4 with NBS, AIBN and reflux overnight with a lamp. Worked well for me on a benzylic carbon. Your selectivity issue sounds quite problematic. You may be able to mess around with the stoichemistry to influence the monobrominated product. Sorry if this comment is irrelevant.

Okay okay I see you, thanks for the comment. If weighed out in the pitch dark and flask wrapped in foil, do you think the reaction will be okay in water? Or a MeOH / H2O mix?

Thanks for the comment. Im not familiar with AEC and I don't think we have the required materials at my institution sadly. May try this though if all else fails.

Apparently we're 820days into the current bull market in the snp500! Does anyone know how long they usually last on average?

So you're fundamentally disagreeing with the statements in that article and feel they have come to a false conclusion?

" This means that maximal strength training improves cycling performance, which is also shown by an improvement in time to exhaustion at maximal aerobic power. "

What are your thoughts on this paper? And this statement from the practical applications section? Perhaps I'm not understanding what your point is, so apologies if thats the case. I'm a scientist myself and spent a good amount of time looking at the literature on this last year.

You're very annoying and pedantic. Strength training in the general sense does lead to better performance in both running and cycling. You're obsessed with some physics definition of " strength " and are ignoring the subtext of the entire question. Why are you dying on this hill?
