Question:

chemical derivatization problem?

In a lab I work at, we were attempting to derivatize a thermally sensitive compound with BSTFA w/ 1% TMCS. We calculated what the new mass should have been with the TMCS group attached and looked for it on the GCMS. We found that the compound did not derivatize as its M+ peak was what we would expect for the original compound. We then injected the compound underivatized and saw a major drop off in sensitivity. Can anyone explain this? Its like the derivatizing agent stablized the compound without actually attaching the silyl group.

Answer:

Cigarettes have much more deadly chemicals than thc. Resin isn't good for you, but it's not nearly as bad.
We can only guess why you were fired. Seriously, why would you want to get that job back? There are two issues here and you need to not confuse one with the other. That job is history. But not only do they owe you for the work you already did, but failing to pay you timely is illegal as is writing a bad check. In my state, they would owe you not only for te time you already worked but you would remain on the clock until they actually do pay you. Of course, if they are out of money and cannot pay, that won't do you much good, will it? So I suggest exploring both civil (small claims) and criminal (district attorney's office) remedies.
Because Europeans dont give a flying horse sh*t. (myself included, i live in a european country) well, we all want to go to our destination fast and when something happens the other person ALWAYS made the fault. Just the way we are. Sorry.
ugh, why? they are both terrible, heathen. btw in case other answerers don't know, the guy below me doesn't seem to - when he refers to resin i am 99% sure he means the dark sticky goo you scrape off the inside of pipes and bongs after you've smoked it, it's not actually pure resin, it's just used for lack of a better word. it's really what has already been burned so there is a hell of a lot of nasty stuff in it.
Cigarettes. THC is a non addictive substance, whereas tobacco is bad for your lungs and throat, and can cause various types of cancer.
