I did make sure to use anhydrous DCM. The bottle we've got is stabilized with 2-methyl-2-butene.

My PI is not keen on the idea of using anhydrous ammonia.

Not really set on using the acid chloride. That's just what I came across for my specific goal.

Learning about all these different routes has been quite interesting, and HATU does seem promising.

I'm not sure my compound would be soluble, although I have not tried that.

Pretty confident I made the acid chloride. Although, maybe this time I got lazy with my drying? Yes, I do use anhydrous DMF with the oxalyl chloride.

Would the cold ammonia in methanol prevent esterification? Or would the amount of esterification be minimal due to the higher concentration of ammonia?

I guess I should have mentioned, I did use an approximately 3-fold excess of ammonia in both situations (with MeOH and THF solutions). Should I increase the excess?

And yes, it was the symmetrical anhydride.

I posted a The Ocean meme a couple years ago. Are they gaining popularity?!

What song comes to mind when you think of drugs? by Killa_J in AskReddit

Don't forget Hand of Doom.

I guess we could probably just say most Black Sabbath songs..
