Chemistry is cool and always surprising! A colleague was trying to make a boronic acid derivative via lithium-halogen exchange followed by addition to trimethyl borate and then this πŸ”΅/🟣 colour showed up. We have no idea why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #c

Staring into the eye of a cyclops.... πŸ‘jk this was a reaction that got absolutely wrecked at 200 celcius in a microwave 🀷🏻‍♂️ It looks a lot like a recent post by @dr_bhambra though! #chemistry #synthesis #ochem #organicchemistry #PhD #chemi
