If you grab this (can't speak for the quality of the torrent) you can do the DFT calculations for molecules this size on an average laptop in a few hours. It spits out a really pretty 3D graph for your HOMO/LUMO and you don't have to touch an integral table. China still sketches me out (that...

Had to think about what you were saying for a while before I realized...I'm thinking that deprotonating the allylcatechol with a strong ionic base and then bridging the oxygens with DCM under anhydrous conditions would be swell. If i had my main computer I'd run some DFT calculations on the...

Hence the Grignard addition to avoid the rearrangement. But what about the bromination? What's the difference?

Well, after some more research, I threw out safrole as a precursor. It sucks, but it's well-regulated and I don't want to be breaking the law with my purchases :) I am however very intrigued by the safrole total synthesis from salicylaldehyde. Most of this route is peroxide chemistry but near...

Can do, here you go! Sit down with some coffee and read through #4 and #5 on her top ten list. I'm going to be doing some more literature searching this afternoon over lunch on these two methods, but I want to get some more opinions. It's been 14 years since TS2 was published, I can't imagine...

Is this something that would require a bribe, or just append it to the "Additional comments" section? I'm hesitant to order Chinese, because I've seen many Chinese companies that purportedly sell some of the very complex and novel organometallics that my lab designs, and I doubt their honesty...

It seems like a majority of the Sources that came out for honey oil enthusiasts wanting to buy sass/camphor oil were published in the late 90's and early 00's; few if any were updated in any sort of traceable fashion. That being said, what are good precursors to look in the second decade of...
