Cubane synthesis - Extractions&Ire
cubane-synthesisMany interesting techniques in this series : recrystalizations, purifications, TLCs with various detection methods (permanganate, iodine, UV, vanillin), contamination mitigation, quite cold temperatures, reaction times, decomposition, photochemistry, protection/deprotection, water-free techniques, tar management...
