Hey Les.....
while we are asking each other our opinions regarding these interesting matters. i was wondering what your opinion was on the use of grignard reagents in the nucleophilic substitution of aldehydes / ketones compared to nucleophilic substitution reactions of carboxylic acids to form esters.
i ask this as there seems to be a remarkable generation of esters in the vicinity of your keyboard!
in case you're unsure, esters are strong smelling hydrocarbons, most are fairly noxious.
when i was a kid, i rode a bmx! what did you ride?
Chopper
with ears or without?
