Today, it was found that the beaker containing the ortho variant of MOED (ortho-MOED) yielded some crystals. The image below shows an interesting property of this derivative. It seems to crystalize red strands, rather than as a powder. Of course, this may not be ortho-MOED. In order to know for sure, an NMR would have … Continue reading MOED Derivatives 7/14/21

Synthesis of MOED Derivatives
Lab work on 7/7/21 Upon returning to the lab, it was found that a beaker containing the MOED solution was completely dried up. What is needed to be done now is to wash the beaker with some water, and filter out the MOED crystals. The other flask that was left over is a round bottom … Continue reading Synthesis of MOED Derivatives
