Follow the trials and tribulations of a bunch of Aussie Chemists as we plough through life in the lab.
It is important to note that guides given within this blog are simply that - guides - and should only be attempted in a professional laboratory environment with explicit permission from relevant safety officers. We endeavour to be as thorough and informative as possible, but we cannot anticipate all potentials for danger and problems in the lab and as suchwe take no responsibility for any outcome of any experiment undertaken using these guidelines. We do not encourage blindly leaping into experimentation and it is highly advised to make use of MSDS and appropriate literature pertaining to any experiment that is undertaken.Furthermore, if you are not sure of a certain experiment it is important to ask questions of your supervisor.
LOL It's been corrected in the paper :)
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I wonder if the dehydrohalogenation with R: KOH, S: EtOH under reflux condition only gave alkenes. Could hydroxylation also occur?
