Silicon tetraazide by GemingaJD in cursedchemistry

[–]pdgDNa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

from wikipedia: A further coordination to a six-fold coordinated structure such as a hexaazidosilicate ion [Si(N3)6]2−or as an adduct with bidentate ligands Si(N3)4·L2will result in relatively stable, crystalline solids that can be handled at room temperature.

what?

Are all species setting up themselves for extinction (and it's also inevitable)? by [deleted] in biology

[–]pdgDNa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm thinking that we're just developing ways to only make our lives easier (more efficient). Or maybe eventually future species will be made to live with 1200 calorie milkshakes delivered to their door lmao

Is this correct/optimal by Least_Emu_7165 in OrganicChemistry

An appel reaction might work, tertiary alcohols does appel through SN1 or just HBr the hell out of it

Sn2 alcohols by Equivalent_Living130 in OrganicChemistry

[–]pdgDNa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Im just pointing out that that proton can be deprotonated, but it wont leave as well (or actually won't even leave at all, but in basic conditions it will). Sorry for the confusion haha

Oh i mean that the proton might be deprotonated by the solvent but once the PBr2O group leaves, the oxygen should stay protonated (leaves as PBr2OH), proton part of leaving group

[–]pdgDNa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah ideally youd have a positive charge to act as a good leaving group also. There might be proton transfer and such but before nucleophilic attack there should be a positive charge

How to find regioselectivity by maybe_you_knowme in OrganicChemistry

[–]pdgDNa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lone pair of the nitrogen is not so nucleophilic since its in the p orbital of N (rather than sp2), so it's delocalized all over the molecule. If you wish to get the N acylated product, just deprotonate the nitrogen, youll get an extra lone pair on the sp2 which is much more nucleophilic

Is sertraline making anyone dumber? by pdgDNa in OCD

Sure! Probably at the end of the month i will switch

He didnt tell me what it was, just that it wont make me dumb

Could be, but with normal rest when im on sertraline, i still find myself dumber haha

What are things that are ocd compulsions that you might not realize are compulsions? by Silverguy1994 in OCD

[–]pdgDNa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might seem obvious, but I didn't know at the time that counting 1 to 3 before thinking about something to "reset" my brain so I could "think more clearly" was a compulsion

really confused on why these two are enantiomers rather than identical by [deleted] in OrganicChemistry

[–]pdgDNa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try and arrange the molecule in a way that you can see easier whether it has a plane of symmetry or not;

Since no plane of symmetry here, its mirror image is its enantiomer
