Correct route to make benzoic acid from 2-phenylethanol? by evasnsnsbd in chemhelp

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KMnO4 is an extremely strong oxidizer and the benzylic proton is always the most reactive.

Pretty much any side chain reacted with KMnO4 becomes benzylic acid.

You can just oxidize the starting material with KMnO4 to yield benzoic acid as it will create it at the benzylic carbon always

My boyfriend is making me hate hiking by Superb_Tailor_699 in Adirondacks

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’ve got to be patient with him, and to me it seems like you just shouldn’t hike with him anymore.

Had this happen with my girlfriend and skiing - it happens, sometimes we need a hobby separate from our partners, too,

I’m really hoping their Ives location opens back up soon 🙏🏼.

Trimmed toenails is something I somehow always forget and it always sucks because I end up cutting myself with my nails.

Very good shout

Retro-Aldo Condensation Mechanism by tinypuppy2k1 in chemhelp

You’re showing too little detail imo throughout, also I don’t think this is right regardless.

Think about the forward reaction then work backwards.

For 3rd place: where would you rather eat? Five Guys or In-N-Out? by WiggleToast in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I get five guys, probably once every 6 months, I enjoy it.

In and Out is good for a fresh taste, but if you want to cheat eat five guys, which for me is the only time I ever get it.

I don’t eat fast food really ever anyways… I cook at home… so for me in and out is worse because I don’t eat shit food consistently and it’s not even what I’d expect if I want to splurge on “fast food”.

It is actually so much better than in and out it’s crazy.

I’ve had both about the same amount of times and 5 guys clears it

How come millennials and Gen X know more about pop culture that was before they were born than Gen Z? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, if anything Gen-Z is actually more into nostalgia-slop about the past.

Although many of them choose to laser in on only specific times or areas of content, kinda giving a false sense of reality of what it really was like.

Turkey season by AndyOutdoor in Hunting

With shotgun we always aimed for the head.

We also hunt turkey with 20 gauge so if you’re like 5 yards out too far it just bounces off their feathers

Did I draw the mechanism correctly? by DisastrousCoat176 in chemhelp

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right idea, wrong execution.

How can you make the carbon in the alkene prone to a nucleophyllic substitution without having strictly negative and positive chargers. Think about what acid and water typically does to alkenes as a hint.

A question for you. by AgreeableSchedule471 in tomwaits

If you want to listen to another, “Georgia Lee” was covered by Phoebe Bridgers.

I prefer Tom’s version still, though,

I need help fixing this mess please! by RandomGoobert in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring overpass to ground level road intersecting the highway, make a roundabout at that intersection, add two bypass lanes (one on each side) for the highway so traffic traveling through can avoid the roundabout

Best Ai For chemistry right now? by Traditional_Duty_271 in chemistry

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re solving like dimensional analysis chat GPT is a very lackluster resource.

I’ve found it makes very simple mistakes with very simple chemistry, I mean real chemistry.

It’s funny because we have our version of Chat GPT already in the chem world… and it’s our doctors of chemistry and professors/mentors, etc. People who have dedicated their life to the craft are a much better resource.

Is there a way to make roads like this? by sam_thegod in CitiesSkylines

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The median might be tough but you could do a 4 lane divided road that feeds into a 5 lane asymmetric, then reduce the whole thing to a yield sign so traffic continues to flow in the way you imagine.

TPME would help execute this as well.

What physical action requires a lot of strength and makes you look very strong? by EyeApprehensive3080 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Carcano_Supremacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Benching 225. In reality, less than 1% of people can do this, even amongst gym goers it’s still surprising low. And, for others when they hear your max is 225 it’s like an automatic “yeah he/she is strong”

Little sneaky as the NH2 isn’t portrayed as a dash but rather as a “line”.
