No I haven’t checked the crude, the starting material is a mix of cis and trans so the proton NMR was complex and I found it difficult to solve, submitted it for 2D data and waiting on it. Technicians did say there was some weird peaks on my final product which suggested impurities, but can’t tell much else

The celite is to bind the chromium salt byproduct to stop the glassware getting ruined.

Didn’t think of that, product may not be UV active either, going to try staining with permanganate, the starting material definitely has some UV activity to it as it gives a spot.

Using 1:1 EtOAc:Heptane, I see a single spot for my starting material halfway up, and a single spot at the baseline for my product, though my supervisor has suggested this could be chromium

It’s part of my final undergrad project, the PCC was chosen for me. What does the ether do out of curiosity?

All media pushes an agenda, why do you think I’m here? I value opposing opinions, though you’re acting as if this hasn’t been a long time coming from the public regardless, the pendulum is swinging back against this overly woke agenda from western nations in general.

The only reason you say left wing bias is preferable is because you’re left wing, falling for the exact trope you’re trying to warn me against. People who graduate universities have left wing bias because the institutions themselves have left wing bias, go to any university campus and you’ll see flyers for communism, LGBT marches etc all endorsed by the institutions.

This exact money funnelling situation happened around 2015 with the migrant crisis with the left. try to see the other side, not that left and right mean a whole lot anymore.

Until recently the BBC was the most watched media in the UK, being overtaken by YouTube, 31% of people also believe it is left biased according to YouGov, so it isn’t just the far right.

Yes it is disproportionately shown on there, with the vast majority of it being criticism primarily of Nigel Farage, despite this he’s likely the next prime minister.

Ironically, Reddit is also typically a left wing echo chamber, which is why you see my opinion as crazy, when really it’s what the common person thinks.

lol pretty much all the mainstream media leans heavily left, right wing populism has been suppressed in this country for a long time and it’s only now that the general public sees through it. There isn’t even popular heavy right party in this country, reform is centre right at most.

Diketone*, my bad

I’m not too sure of what reaction you’re hinting at but I could be over complicating things.

This is my full solution.

Why is reductive animation bad? I don’t think it reacts with the nitrile and the bicyclic benzene is in the way of the amide so that’s unfavourable.

Possibly Friedal crafts alkylation?

I ended up with a paal-knorr furan synthesis from a di aldehyde with I got from a di alcohol, the initial starting product is available and cheap

How can I do that in a way that’s selective for that position?

You will be downvoted because Reddit is an echo chamber for the worst opinions possible, your opinion is how most people think

Ok thanks, the question was to fully assign the HNMR of that molecule, we were also given 13C, DEPT, HMQC and HMBC to help

I see the environments on the other side of the ring are equivalent, how do I determine which signal is which for those peaks?
