One option might be to deprotonate with t-butyl lithium, then methylate with methyl iodide.

Ninja`d The issue is that once you get small enough you are no longer talking about particles occupying finite volume. For example electrons are often better described as waves. As such, you can not say it occupies a volume area, but we can say that it has a high probability of being in this...

We should all just ignore him. He has done some great work in the past (read he won a NOBLE PRIZE!). That said, it was in a very different field and subject matter that what this paper is on. There are so many problems with what he is suggesting from a chemical perspective that I would be...

One thing that has not been considered here is if you can see the space ship itself. In order to "see" it, we look at reflected light off of it. The amount of time of interaction of light in a given area would be so small that the amount of light reflected would be too faint to pick up by most...

Its a compound of the formula CHCl3 and has been used as an anesthetic drug in the past and is often featured in movies as used for knocking people out. OT but still somewhat related (in the chemistry sense), Would you be the nucleophile for my electrophile?

If you want to include chemical names, then at any point someone could just make up a molecule that is arbitrarily long and then just use IUPAC rule to name it thus beating any previous claims to longest word.

From an academic sense what you did was bad. When you goto university, you must ask permission before recording a lecture (either audio or video) because the contents of the lecture are the intellectual property of the person doing the lecture.

My understanding is one of two things will happen depending on the balance between the rate of expansion of the universe and the amount of energy and mass in the universe: i)rate of expansion is too quick and the universe is doomed to cold, dark, lifeless future ii)rate of expansion is too...

I hunted down the article and some of the papers that have referenced it (over 500 papers have been published since this was that have cited it). Although I did not extensively look, I found no retractions about it, but I did find lots of interesting articles to read.

There is a lag between when you pulled and your friend on the other end receives the pull. If you want to demonstrate this to yourself in a simple model, just use a slinky and stand a couple of meters (or yards) apart. Pull/push and you can watch the compression wave travel along until it...

Personally I am a little skeptical. Although it is an interesting approach, I think that it will still require lots of computer power. My evidence is that a quick google of "unlimited detail" took 0.17 seconds. Although it is not exactly analogous, in order for the search method to work, it will...

It was a very traumatic event, but since we have beaten the Russians and the Germans and in a couple of nights we will meet you in the finals and crush the Americans. As well tonight our women's team will prove once again that they are the best stick handlers in the world when they beat the...

They got rid of it about 6 years ago (it created a bit of a crunch for people trying to go into post secondary education. We make the best beer in North America, but I don't think in the world. There is one particular Belgium beer that is the best beer I have ever had.

I suggest if that idea intrigued you, then you should read Atlas Shrug by Ayn Rand. She is the figure head of this ideology. OT: Although at first thought it seems to be a great idea, after much thought, most people find the idea to be bad. IMO I don't think it will work. I think the only...
