Feels like 20 years going to watch one of the Big Beast give the conference ending plenary.

They would obviously overrun, we would miss the wine mixer and half the audience had walked out to catch their train.

Nobody was happy

Then I horribly overthink the question (we are talking extreme levels of overthought); then, can't remember most of the periodic table.

That's one Ugi reaction!
One set of compounds that come close to thiols in the smell stakes - bleach is your friend.

Finally, we must talk about glassware for the Toronto cocktail.
It should never be served in a cup, and definitely not in a silver Stanley cup.
Once finished, the glass should be smashed into the fire along with all their hopes and dreams.
The napkin is provided to start planning the parade.

What types of reaction are you talking about?
An example with A-21 resin (PS-NMe2), you can add a drop of NEt3 to act as a proton shuttle. The reaction happens in solution and the newly formed ammonium (NEt3H+) will deposit the proton onto the A-21 resin. NEt3 is free to go round as a catalyst.

The Ley and Leigh groups had similar video-based systems which helped me to grind through examples.

£5k is too much for my lab, but in a shared analytical suite, a reasonable addition.

The days of 'recrystallization until constant Mpt' are thankful gone.
