🎵I've made my schemes
Line after line
Written my sentence
Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)
🎼
We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

Curtius without azide!
Very cool transformation from the Hoover Lab @ Minnesota out in #OrgLettASAP with @jesstheligand.bsky.social showings e-poor (Her)Ar-CO2H can undergo a Curtius-type rearrangement to her-Ar amines with NFSI as oxidant at RT!
Wonderful scope - well done all

Room-Temperature Decarboxylative Amination of Electron-Deficient (Hetero)Aromatic Carboxylic Acids
Decarboxylative amination reactions offer the opportunity to access (hetero)aromatic amines from readily available carboxylic acid starting materials. However, the reliance of the Curtius rearrangemen...

Halftime show was like West Side Story if it was all Sharks and no Jets… which makes perfect sense because there’s now way the Jets could make it to the Super Bowl 😜

Dmitri Mendeleev was born #OTD (8 Feb) in 1834. He's known for recognising periodic patterns in the properties of elements, using these to predict the properties of undiscovered elements. And, of course, the periodic table! wp.me/p4aPLT-8UU
