For the chance to win a periodically nerdy t-shirt, correctly group the words that share a common theme into four groups of four words and reply to this post using #ChemBuzz! Make sure you are also following our account. T&C: ms.spr.ly/6016lMHJs

GIVEAWAY TIME! If you’re periodically nerdy, we have a shirt for you. To win this 👕, you must first solve a puzzle (threaded below)!

@NaOHBartfield @_Captain_Insano I've always done 3 washes with Ethyl acetate and crushed ice/water, basically shaking it until the ice melts

@_Captain_Insano The best one for us is to blow the dmf off under nitrogen (lol) and then extract with water and a supplemental LiCl wash. Works, but takes forever!

we call it DMF because Dat MotherFunker really just sticks around man. Get out of my compound. Get a job. Find god

@ZJAyres Unfortunately even in restaurants it's usually alot of prep ahead of time to make tasty food in 10 minutes, that said there isn't really much of a reason you can't do the prep ahead of time for home too (it's still more than 10 min total work unfortunately)

A GIVEAWAY ON VALENTINE'S DAY?! Win a Sigma-Aldrich Chocolate bottle for you and your valentine (or labmate!). Oh-- by the way, this is GLOBAL*

@NaOHBartfield I've been saving this one for a special occasion. But the buzz word of 2024 has to be wasps

We need better buzzwords guys we can do this

@ndchiappini One of my favourite workups. Filtration of a sludgy mess through celite to the emerald solution which extracts out with water and leaves me a clean product.

@ndchiappini @charliefdixonIV Does this method work for grignards by any chance?

@EmmMacfarlane I'm still waiting to see an external audit to show there is any ACTUAL financial issues and it's not just hand waving as an excuse to cut while leaving admin as bloated and ineffectual as usual

@NaOHBartfield I'm so sorry. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️

Today was our final day together. I am heartbroken and devastated. I loved Lila more than I ever thought I could give. It was her time to go, and I'm just so grateful for her presence over the past few years. Thanks everyone for your support ❤️

@NaOHBartfield HE'S JUST LIKE ME!

Wow

@PharmToTablePod @danithechemist @DrLCsquare What is the reaction/process that you find most useful in drug discovery? (most versatile, easiest purification, most scaleable from bench to pilot scale etc.) Equally what is the reaction you didn't expect but keep going back to?

Listeners, @danithechemist and @DrLCsquare are reprising their yearly tradition of answering YOUR QUESTIONS! Please reply to this tweet or slide into our DMs with your questions and you could be rewarded with some #PharmToTable swag!

@DeathCab4Callie Ravioli. Obviously.

@InorgC2vMemes BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE COMPLETE A ROW???

enamine has an incredible opportunity at their doorstep

Who would have thought? Acidic protons and Grignard reagents are compatibl, to yield enantiospecific cross-coupling! @cmc_lab we report the first example of enantioenriched cyclic sulfones as coupling partners in Ni-catalyzed Kumada. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Ever wanted a cross-metathesis … but with carbonyls? Check out Prof @LuminZhang123’s last discovery before starting his own lab at SIOC … in @NatureChemistry nature.com/articles/s4155… It’s like a reverse ozonolysis!

@stmacqua @MacQuarrieGroup @cbuniversity @CBUChemistry I can still smell this just from the photo

@NaOHBartfield It's so so so terrible

I'm not looking for suggestions or advice. I just want people to commiserate

Guys.... endnote fucking sucks

Had an incredible time this year at my first #CSC2023 it was so amazing being able to share my work and talk with a bunch of fantastic and talented chemists!
