6x25g bottles of dodecanethiol (a thiol, or mercaptan is where in an alcohol, sulfur replaces oxygen, so -OH becomes -SH. The term 'mercaptan' is the older name for a thiol, and comes, etymologically speaking, from the latin phrase 'mercurium captans', meaning to capture mercury, owing to the huge affinity that mercury and mercury compounds have for that -SH sulfhydryl functional group.
Some of their properties are similar to the parent alcohol, and to alcohols in general, although the sulffur is a better nucleophile and sulfhydryl is, AFAIK a far better leaving group in both nucleophilic substitutions and also is easier to subject to elimination reactions. But like alcohols, thiols/mercaptans also form the analogous simple sulfur compounds; such as dehydration rxns of the kind R1-SH+R2-SH (dehydration-condensation using E.g concentrated sulfuric acid)>R1SR2&H2S. RSR being a thioether. Or R-SH (acid catalyst) R-SH-> C–S–C=O–C, a thioester. They also form thioketones, thioamides, thiocarboxylic acids, thiocaboxylic acid anhydrides or the equivalent acid halides, thiolactones, IIRC also thiolactams (a lactone is a cyclized ketone, such as gamma-butyrolactone, used for cleaning alloy wheels and also for, when saponification is performed to cleave the ring and as such decyclize it to the parent carboxylic acid, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, which is yielded up in the form of its salt with the base used to effect the ring-opening rxn, such as GHB-sodium from using NaOH, or from using caustic potash rather than caustic soda, K-GHB, and likewise alkalin earth metal hydroxides, like slaked lime, calcium hydroxide may also be used, or magnesium hydroxide so as to give calcium or magnesium GHB respectively)
I found two packets of blue bubblegum bonbons, a partly eaten third pack of same,a packet of liquorice cigarette rolling papers and 4-5 morphine capsules I did not know I had. Oh, and I also found a full 1.75 liter bottle of coke that had rolled under the sofa, when I thought I'd dropped my pouch of tobacco (I hadn't, I'd left it upstairs), one of my glass H-pipes had rolled away under the sofa too so I found and retrieved that too, as well as my bottle of coke.
Its REAL coke too, none of that pepsi garbage, or crap like low-sugar, sugar-free, stevia-sweetened or diet coke. Oh and two 'magnum' honeycomb edition ice creams in the freezer too.
600g of magnesium sulfate, 200g of sodium bicarbonate and 100ml of acetone, none of which I knew that I had,
As well as a large box of slides and a box of the thin glass cover slips for preparing said slides for use with my rather excellent microscope.
