Rarely do distillations in the lab to purify compounds I make but this was a treat 👌🏻 Ended up with a really nice crystal clear liquid after, leaving all the black gross shit behind 🙌🏻 #chemistry #synthesis #synthetic #organic #ochem #purification #distillation #research #instascience #instachemistry #realtimechemistry #gradschool #uottawa
@domcampo quenching the lithium acetylide of phenylacetylene with acetone! This makes the tertiary alcohol. What an awesome colour change 🤩 #chemistry #synthesis #organicchem #organic #synthetic #gradschool #instascience #instachemistry #realtimechemistry #PhD #uottawa

Chemistry is cool and always surprising! A colleague was trying to make a boronic acid derivative via lithium-halogen exchange followed by addition to trimethyl borate and then this 🔵/🟣 colour showed up. We have no idea why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #c

Staring into the eye of a cyclops.... 👁jk this was a reaction that got absolutely wrecked at 200 celcius in a microwave 🤷🏻‍♂️ It looks a lot like a recent post by @dr_bhambra though! #chemistry #synthesis #ochem #organicchemistry #PhD #chemi
