Better Than Word of Mouth

Hello, dear readers. It's been...a while. I promise the blog is not dead, just sleeping for now. My 2017 New Year's resolutions include sculpting specific time out for all the sci-writing goodness. Stay tuned.

Enough maudlin overtures. Now, on to the fun!

Strem has, as any synthetic guru would attest, the highest-quality metal precursors in the biz.* Now, you could spend a weekend cracking ampoules to find out, or just open to the Supporting Information of one of Jeff Bode's recent publications in Org. Lett. Perhaps you remember this reaction - SnAP synthesis of saturated heterocycles - best from a cheeky Derek Lowe tweet:



That's in reference to the stoichiometric incorporation of tin** in the reagent, which serves as a linchpin for the eventual transmetalation to a copper species and ring closure, neatly without disturbance of the ipso heteroatomic group.

Well, much to my surprise, Prof. Bode has climbed on the recent trend of showing one's work through tactful inclusion of smartphone pics to buoy up procedure adoption. Especially with fussy transition metals, valency, contaminants, poor environment, and a whole host of other factors lead to catalyst poisoning and color changes. In the SnAP case, the litmus test seems to be formation of a correctly ligated Cu(II) ion in lutidine relative to the (probable) hexaaquo cuprate species formed as a blue heterogeneous train wreck.

The kicker? The fairly indiscreet preference for the Strem copper(II) precursor over all other suppliers. Look at the change! Night and day, and key to making these reactions work.


You couldn't buy better advertising than this....right, Strem?
Bravo, Bode group! I look forward to seeing your colorful coupling chemistry in future reads.

  1. Cu(OTf)2 is best handled in glovebox for consistent results - I spent one entire humid Boston summer working with super-Lewis acidic Cu(II) complexes (with SbF6- counterion they even react with MTBE and some chlorinated solvents like DCE). The color change from pale green to deep blue was a sign things got humid, and much less reactive - in my case the attenuated hydrated Cu catalyst was actually an advantage.

    Companies like Alfa or Aldrich packing hygroscopic materials into wide mouth bottles under moist air is unfortunately all too common problem. They have an all-purpose filling station and not enough qualified/motivated people doing the job the right way.

  2. Close to twenty years ago, upon learning that I was colorblind, a Chinese coworkers said "you'd never be allowed to become a chemist in China". Maybe she had a point.

My wife just suddenly hate sex we tried all method non work it became so bad that she had to move out with the kids 12 years and 3 months of marriage. I had to seek for help outside the box,  On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I was searching for solution I came across series of testimonies about this particular spell caster called Dr Ojogun  Some people testified that he brought their Ex back,  some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce. Etc. There was one particular testimony I saw, it was about a woman called Maria Jose from Atlanta, USA who testified about how Dr Ojogun  brought back her husband in less than 48 hours that got me intrigue. After reading all these,I decided to give Dr Ojogun  a try I contacted him and explained my problem to him. In just 6 days, my wife did not only came back to me but she now love sex and she is no longer scared of it. Dr Ojogun  is really a gifted man and i will not stop talking about him because he is a wonderful man. If you have any problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve that problem for you Dr Ojogun   is the answer to your problem.
