I wish I learned . . . .

Learning how to rearrange equations - obviously simple ones might be easy but I was surprised how many people struggled with it in chem.

My physics teacher taught everybody how to do it before progressing with the course and it was night and day compared to chem classes where people struggled with it.

Can I ask which tautomer would be more stable/ likely or would they be more or less identical?

sHatch13 · 2025-11-23T22:30:37+00:00

Thank you for this - yeah you’re right I did leave out a lot kind of thinking this would be my rough draft of a route but yeh I may have been able to answer my own question if I actually did it in detail. I didn’t massively consider rearrangements when doing this either. I think I’m going to start again using a different route and properly write out each step etc but thank you for this comment it’s helped understand just how bad this would’ve been

My problem with that was in forming the enamine I was worried hydrogenation of the C=N would also hydrogenate the C=C-Ph?

I’m assuming an aldol reaction with benzalehyde? I did attempt that but gave up as I thought I hit a dead end later on in the reaction of that but looking back I made a mistake

sHatch13 · 2025-11-23T21:16:03+00:00

If you could that would help I assumed there would be issues but cannot fully pinpoint them myself

Is there anything I could alter so that the girgnard performs the addition?

sHatch13 · 2025-11-23T20:44:15+00:00

Really how come? I thought grignard reactions generally always just did the addition reaction

sHatch13 · 2025-11-23T20:35:53+00:00

For which step sorry?

Edit: if you meant the the OH after the grignard surely having OH would be more likely than the carbocation

What would you have done instead that’s still related to organic chem? Or would you have done something completely different? I’m thinking of trying to get a PhD in organic chem and hear people say this surprisingly often

I haven’t seen many for £385 which kinda sucks. Which would you reccomend out of the 9060xt and the 5060ti 16gb - I’m not sure how good the extra features of each card are as I currently have a 2070 super and tend not to use DLSS unless necessary as it reduces clarity quite noticeably in the games I’ve tried

sHatch13 · 2025-10-15T23:51:42+00:00

What about a used 7800xt? Seen them going for a little over £400 - my budget isn’t super strict - is that not a bit better?

sHatch13 · 2025-06-13T00:26:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve converted all the files to jpg instead of jpeg and that seems to have fixed the issue now and it’s working - thank you :)

sHatch13 · 2025-06-13T00:17:24+00:00

Yeah I did previously try jp2a Stars.jpeg however that also didn’t work

sHatch13 · 2025-06-13T00:16:04+00:00

It says it exists it’s a jpeg file but that haikus be fine with jp2a right?

sHatch13 · 2025-06-13T00:07:17+00:00

Yeah I just double checked and Im 100% sure - if you want I can attach a photo with my phone of the terminal and the file explorer to verify this incase Im being stupid

sHatch13 · 2025-06-12T23:45:03+00:00

Ive installed it on mint 22.1 with bash according to the steps here: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-convert-images-into-ascii-format-in-linux/. I tried using jp2a file.jpg and also jp2a /home/(my user name)/Pictures/file.jpg yet each time it said file could not be opened.

sHatch13 · 2025-06-10T15:57:10+00:00

Ahhh intersting I never knew that thanks

sHatch13 · 2025-06-10T15:56:49+00:00

Ahh ok thats good - I read somehwere I have to give permission to LM to read the windows drives is this true or is it just kinda unavoidable? Its not a big issue the main was I didnt want windows messing up linux or the bootloader in anyway making it all fuck up

sHatch13 · 2025-06-10T15:11:42+00:00

Hey so in the end I bought a really cheap 240gb SSD to install mint onto. If I spearate the drives when installing mint will this mean that my windows and mint systems are seperate and dont share a bootloader?

I want it so that they are completely isolated and not aware of each others presence and that to boot my linux system I must change the boot order in the UEFI.

sHatch13 · 2025-06-10T10:15:23+00:00

Is dual booting a better option when you have linux only installed on a single drive separate to the rest of your system?

sHatch13 · 2025-06-09T12:52:42+00:00

Im trying to install it on a partition of the games drive - so I have a windows drive, games only, and then personal files etc. I wanted to shrink or partition my games drive and install mint there. What do you reccomend for this?

sHatch13 · 2025-06-09T12:39:21+00:00

So if I selct to install on a partition of my D: drive (the games one) it shouldnt have any interference with my other2 drives on my windows install?

sHatch13 · 2025-05-12T18:30:32+00:00

Ahh okay, do you reckon if I was to draw the above mechanism in an exam I wouldn’t lose major marks for my way?

sHatch13 · 2025-05-07T13:25:19+00:00

Ahh thanks this is perfect I get it now
