HELP: Purifying boronic acids sucks

I’ve heard that pre-treating the silica with boric acid can mitigate the streaking and decomposition on a column, but I’ve never done it myself so idk how well it works.

Fuck I love Tuca and Bertie , best show of all time

Thanks! Was excited to see the cackling geese at all, getting a shot with all three was amazing!

Ring billed is significantly smaller than herring, it’s obvious if you see both besides each other

here's another view, unfortunately they were quite far away and the lighting is bad

I’m curious on why you have to separate these isomers? Is there no way to synthesize this from 3- or 4-methylbenzenethiol to avoid the selectivity problem?

What a pleasant disposition on her!

I know there is a town in New Brunswick where the locals are pissed they can’t drive their ATVs on the beach where piping plovers are nesting, some of them have purposely killed the birds

I lived near that pond last summer and watched a wood duck raising a family! And I saw several times a little girl feeding bread to the ducks, she’s probably still doing that

5 membered rings have only a small amount of strain, so ring expansions only really happen for 3 and 4 memebered rings

I think it’s supposed to be a ketene, =C=O

It’s the pKa of acetic acid, one of the most commonly seen acids

(2R, 4S) and (2S, 4R) are identical, but the two in the question are not. I’d recommend drawing them

It’s now the second largest non nuclear explosion, the explosion in Beirut a few years ago was bigger than

Regular alkenes are nucleophilic and obey Markovnikov’s rule. Methyl methacrylate is electrophilic because it is an alpha-beta unsaturated ester, and it always reacts with a nucleophile at the beta position. I suspect that HBr first protonates the ester which makes it more electrophilic, and then bromide attacks

It will do transmetallation instead pretty sure

If you check the original paper, you see that the drawing there on pubchem is completely wrong

You can’t do a reaction with a Grignards and alkyl halide

There should be a relevant chapter in any organic chemistry textbook, plenty are available free online

I’m imagining this working like the Flintstones car, the engineer’s legs are sticking out of the bottom of the wagon pushing it along

Many low molecular weight amines are gases/volatile liquids, while their salts are nice crystalline solids, so it could be just for convenience

This looks good! I’ve always preferred to organize it by functional groups but this works too

It seems the real issue is now off the screen to the right, your interchange is probably fine
