Hello,
I am considering several different graduate programs right now. I have recently gotten a huge opportunity to do a PhD in continuous flow chemistry at a top 10 university.
Work will focus on reaction automation, with a large focus on computational work (coding), as well as organic synthesis, about 50/50.
My question: will I be able to pursue careers in biotech? If so, what kinds? Are there routes into management?
Hi everyone,
our group has just bought new Flash chromatography systems and we thus retired the old systems we inherited from the previous working group.
Since the old setup would just end up gathering dust, I thought about turning it into a flow chemistry rig. After reading up a little bit, I found out that HPLC pumps are commonly used in these. But when it comes to finding out whether a certain pump would actually be suitable (considering compatibility with reagent solutions, etc.) I did not find any clear answers.
In case a model number helps: We have a couple of C601 pumps from BΓΌchi.
Cheers, and thank you
I am currently working through Electron Flow in Organic chemistry and was wondering if there exists a solutions manual for the second edition. Thanks in advance.
Hi all, I'm in my first year of an organic chemistry PhD where I'll be using flow chemistry more and more as time goes on.
I'm wondering do any flow chemists have any good starter tips or things you wish you knew when you started using flow!
Thanks in advance!
I'm a college student and I need to insert flowcharts on my reports, so I need a good tool to help me create them. Hope you guys can help.
External quenching method based on flow microreactors allowed generating and using shortβlived fluoroβsubstituted methyllithiums such as ο¬uoromethyllithium, fluoroiodomethyllithium, and fluoroiodostannylmethyllithium. Highly chemoselective reactions have been developed, opening new opportunities in the synthesis of fluorinated molecules via fluorinated organometallics.

Anyone have tips for adapting flow chemistry to standard batch chemistry? I know timing will vary significantly, but that's easy to follow. Not sure about temperatures/equivalents though. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I matched up with a good looking girl on a dating site and after reading her profile and sending/receiving 3 messages each way she appears to be really cool. I got her #, tried to start a convo but she hinted we should go on a date. I immediately noticed and asked her out. It's this Saturday. Here is the problem.
Almost every girlfriend I had I talked to a lot before the first date or was already friends with. My last date I had a convo or two with her beforehand. On the date we had SO MUCH in common but she didn't want to see me because lack of chemistry. I know it's true. I felt like I was suppose to do something but I didn't know what it was. I don't want that to happen again.
How do I let the chemistry flow out? I remember the first time I grabbed each of my GF tits and it's not like I asked for permission or they asked me to I just knew I had permission and I should. So far I been pretty good at knowing when to kiss or when to say something sexual to a girl but with girl I'm not already friends I have no idea/sense. I'm sure after a dozen more dates with girls I don't really know I'll be ok but I'm still pissed at myself about the last one because there was so much potential. I rather ask you guys for ideas and maybe figure this out. Any ideas on how to have chemistry on dates? I think I'm suppressing it accidentally somehow.
Hey there,
I have always had an interest in Flow Chemistry since I first heard of it. Now I am working on a MS doing synthetic organic, planning to do a PhD afterwords in the same field. But it seems that synthetic org is saturated and flow seems to be the wave of the future... So now Im thinking of doing something a bit different; Flow Chemistry (or orgometallics, who knows).
Although Flow Chemistry is very interesting, it seems like actually doing it may be kind of boring. I really enjoy synthesis, though it is very time intensive I find it rewarding. Not sure if flow would give me the same feeling. This is one worry I have in changing gears to begin working on flow. Would doing a PhD in syn org still be able to lead me into working in flow chemistry afterwords, either as a post-doc or directly into industry? Any other thoughts?
Thanks!
tl;dr - Convince me to focus on Flow Chemistry for the rest of my life....
