IUPAC naming question: Why are the dimethyl groups listed before the branched substituent (in blue)?

Both start with “m” and I’m not sure how to alphabetize. According to the rules, any prefix (di, tri, etc.) should be dropped, so we’re comparing “methyl” vs “methylpropyl”

Presenting PhD #1 from the Le Group: Dr. Dusty Cadwallader! (@dustyc94.bsky.social)

Many congratulations on a successful defense 🎉

Wishing you all the best as you begin your NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship @chem.ubc.ca with Zac Hudson!

So great catching up with @duttonchemistry.bsky.social in Lisbon! We overlapped back at @western-chemistry.bsky.social when I was a wee undergrad #ESFC2025

Hello, old friend. We meet again. Guess where I am.

It’s official: I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been granted tenure and promoted to Associate Professor! Grateful for the support of my mentors, collaborators, students, and colleagues who’ve helped me reach this milestone! #chemsky #tenured

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the pre-CSC Young Investigators Workshop bringing together ECRs in organic & bioorganic chemistry. We all gave chalk talks on our research - a fun & engaging way to share our work! #chemsky

When you have to do a chalk talk at 8 am but the oilers just tied up the game #CSCYIW25 #ChemSky @leitchlab.bsky.social @nelsonyslam.bsky.social

My students really know how to hurt my feelings sometimes #chemsky @leresearchgroup.bsky.social
