at least post a fucking benzene ring or something, you cunt

didn't know what m-CPBA does on my final yesterday

kill me

someone post a meme molecule

what are the most common labs I am expected to perform in an intro to ocehm lab?

First you learn some techniques: tlc, column chromatography, acid/base extraction, distillation.

Then you carry out whatever reactions your instructor likes/picks from a lab manual someone else forced on them/found in J. Chem. Educ./the stockroom has materials for/the department can afford and has equipment for.

I forgot recrystallization, for shame

RIP if you do organic synthesis in grad school.

theres nothing scary about heterocyclics, faggot
>>8076101
will form epoxides
>>8076343
good lord, did someone really waste that many reagents for something so useless

>>8076626
>will form epoxides
obviously i know that know. fuck the only way I learned was using RCO3H and NaOH

>>8076673
>RCO3H
but that includes mCPBA

>>8076363
Why?

>>8076748
>but that includes mCPBA
Yeah, I didn't know that.

in short...

-too much competition in academia
-too much competition for jobs
-too much work in grad school
-i hope you like working with white/yellow/brown substances for the rest of your life
-little to no quantitative knowledge (math, physics, etc)
-employers will fuck and chuck you once they use you for their project / your salary gets too high so they just hire another one of the army of PhDs in line behind you for less.

chemistry is just a bad field to be in right now.

Here's a neat paper that came out today in JACS. It's got some neat mechanistic work with implications for radical chemistry, especially radical chemistry.
