Organic synthesis: strategy and techniques (SXR344) day 5

Everyone was much more organised today and acquired the various items quite early on so there were quite so many delays in trying to track down stuff for each stage of the experiment. Just as well, since as the morning progressed those on option A or B were once more working on the same methods albeit with the option A people slightly ahead of the game as the overall process was quicker.

My set-up started to look more like a “proper” chemistry experiment as the clear liquids and white solids were replaced with a range of different coloured ones culminated in a thick black oily gunge in my case. No more of the four hour breaks today and instead it was fairly constant activity.

No tutorials tonight as it was the SXR344 pub crawl around assorted York bars with the last stragglers returning well after 1am.
