Fun New Game

Posted by Ruckus on Tuesday, April 26, 2005

Check out a screen shot from the fun new game I’m playing today:


Paterson interpreted this data to mean that the E(O)-enolate I-XX-E showed no 1,4-induction while the Z(O)-enolate I-XX showed excellent 1,4-induction. The levels of diastereoselectivity could be enhanced to synthetically valuable levels by using the matched enantiomer of an isopinocamphylboron triflate ((Ipc-)2BOTf) derived enolate (Fig. XX, I-XX-Z Æ I-XX).

The game is called “Thesis: The Reason My Hair is Falling Out”. It sucks.

Hang in there Chris, for you are only weeks away from Summer Games ‘05. We’re here to support you.

When I got to that level, the 1,4-induction on my E(O)-enolate I-XX-E totally schooled the ((Ipc-)2BOTf) derived enolate with a chaingun until my Z(O)-enolate I-XX ran out of ammo.

After about 15 tries, I finally just put in the Konami Code and pushed through to the end.

I know it’s cheating, but the diastereoselectivity was driving me nuts and I just wanted to move on to something easier, like Ninja Gaiden: Hurricane Pack 2.

My sympathies, Chris
