It took me a few months longer than I would have liked, but I finally got there. Here are two large (if I do say so myself) bottles of >99% ee enantiomers of my branching point compound. There should be more than 100 g of each, and there is a bit more coming through the resolution still. This is the culmination of seven steps and one resolution.
It took a hell of a lot longer to get here than I had planned, but now I should be able to make dozens of targets and their enantiomers without ever having to repeat any of those steps again.
Your TLC is ready

ReplyDeleteIt's quick, very general, cheap, and not nearly as messy as a spray or even a dip. If you forget the plate in the tank for a few days and it's not readable, a little airing out usually does the trick.
