It's july!!

Almost another month has past since I last blog!!
Time really flies man!!

As usual...I've been busy busy busy...

Interestingly I was looking at my previous post abt the little explosion I created in the lab last month...and this month...we r doing a lot of preparation work for safety audit...where we as grad students have to do a lot of SOP and risk assessment write ups...
Somehow I have been asked to write an SOP for the procedure of a hydride reduction reaction...haha...that's the one that caused the little explosion which nobody in the lab knew abt...wahaha...interesting coincidence!!

Anyway, that's the only more "interesting" thing that happened this month...haha

Oh ya...another thing is I have finally got quite a no of compounds synthesized till their final step...now the only problem is that they r not all that clean after purification once...so gotta do a lot of column chromatography next week...that means...a lot of solvent wasting, solvent inhaling and test tube washing for me :P

Anyway, time to write some SOP now :P
