Really curious to know about this. I read something of it on an obscure post on the Archive, mentioning the synthesis of 4-allylpyrocatechol by alkali hydrolysis of eugenol's methoxy moiety. If this did work it could make a huge difference. No more AlBr3/Pyridine!
The workers report 78%-89% yields (temp dependent, highest yield was at 25C) of hydroxychavicol from eugenol after 18hrs of reaction. No mention of inert atmosphere. Sounds too good to be true? I have everything except DMSO on hand already. Before I go out and buy some, is there anything glaringly wrong here?
Does this paper attest that eugenol is a mglur 2/3, mglur 5 and mglur 1 and glur2 antagonist? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308791328_Molecular_Properties_and_Insilico_Neuroprotective_Activity_of_Eugenol_Against_Glutamate_Metabotrophic_Receptors
Trying to get creative here, any help would be greatly appreciated... My resources for the night are currently limited... Cheers!
You can find it at a pharmacy store such as CVS or Walgreens in the dental care section (ask a pharmacist for help if you're having problems locating it) if you need clove oil quickly and can't wait for ordering it online. This is why I don't stock it myself, because I have a 24/7 CVS and Walgreens both within 10 blocks of me (and can also obtain plain epsom salt there as needed).
It's safe, I've used it on myself when I've had serious issues with my teeth during chemo, and it's the same thing regardless of the name. So if you need some quickly, there's a way to find it.
Anyone know if eugenol extracted and isolated from whole cloves can be synthesised to safrole and furthermore mdma?
The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
