Old school 1,4-butynediol. A wondeful and cheap building block. D!

  1. Short, sharp and to the point. I love it. We have hundreds of these kinds of old school bottles in our cabinets. Remnants of a better time.

  3. so boring and linear. You oughta make bis-perchlorate ester of it and then post the pictures of the resulting hole in your bench

  4. Apologies to RTHL for deleting his/her comment by mistake. Here it is:

    "this chemical is crazy hard to dissolve for whatever reason, I tried standard acylation chemistry with this guy and was shocked at how much DCM, Et3N, and eventually 3 hours in, MeCN, i needed to actually get it in solution before i added the acyl chloride"

    D!
