This week in the lab was my last so I was a little pressed for time when it came to running new reactions. Monday started with four more small vial reactions of our Aryl Boronic acid and Aryl Iodide scopes. I weighed out the solid...
In the lab this week we started with continuing our substrate scope to find the most effective compound in our reactions. On Monday we ran three more heat plate reactions. These reactions take around 3 hours to complete, two hours for on the plate and...
This week in Lab we moved on to substrate scopes for our project. This means that we will try all types of different substrates in our reaction to try and find the most efficient one that gives us the best yield. We started on Monday...
This week was a shorter one as I had Thursday and Friday off because of the 4th of July. In terms of reactions, we continued to purify some compounds made last week. As we had a lot of material, the best way to purify is...
This week in the Engle lab I have been able to do more reactions and more properly see the full functioning of the lab. We started the week by setting up two reactions called Sonogashira Reactions, where the goal is remove a hydrogen from a...
I started working in the Engle Lab at scripps research, under Keary Engle and my mentor Madison Wagner. The aim of the lab to create solutions that will catalyise different chemicals easiest and most efficiently. My mentor's project is focusing on creating tetra-aryl-alkyne groups that...
I have to snowmobile to school everyday in winter. I am Luka Remec, a Junior from Telluride Colorado, My house is an hour away from school and not accessible by car during the winter. I am interested in Mathematics and Statistics. I am an outside...
