@mattd_t I think all commercial stuff has about 1% THF, sometimes labelled, sometimes not. Probably make it yourself is the only option to be sure.

[Tom Hooper @drtomhooper]

@ClarkGroupChem Thanks for the tip, I might order some [PPN]Cl and try this.

[Tom Hooper @drtomhooper]

Can anyone recommed an anhydrous chloride source soluble in polar organic solvents? [NBu4]Cl would be obvious but seems very hard to dry, is [PPN]Cl any better? Are there any other options that might work?

[Tom Hooper @drtomhooper]

@awhspeed No considered that but yes, probably that would work. I guess we could also make other ones ourselves, dry NEt3 + dry benzylchloride probably would work and we can take straight into the box.

We are delighted to welcome Ruth Webster @GroupWebster to @ucdchemistry today to give a seminar as part of her @RoySocChem Award Tour - Looking forward to it!

Can we club together and get the Irish Rugby team a new and upgraded shed? They don't need this distraction before a big quarter final.

It was great to attend @eucomc2023 in Alcala de Henares last week. A fantastic line up of talks with lots of exciting chemistry and great to catch up with some familiar faces too. Thanks to the organisers for a great conference and @RoySocChem for funding my student's trip!
