All that green stuff DD...eww. Gross.
When I can get walking again, and check my bank balance I'll be stocking my fridge too.
Although the things going in it will be pretty different. Some thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide if I can find it as well (since -Br is a better leaving group than chlorine. Not sure of SOI2 is stable though, or that would be ideal, as iodine is better still). I fancy getting some phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus tribromide (although I'll likely make that myself using elemental bromine diluted in a solvent, added slowly and carefully to a solution of white phosphorus in a suitable solvent followed by distillation to separate the PBr3 from the solvent, and of course deal with any remaining willy pete, as it isn't the friendliest thing in the world)
Could do with a few liters of pyridine (ew! stinky. Sulfurous stinks are bad, sure, but pyridine has a more putrescent fish gone so far bad that its mostly bones and some stringy bits of decaying viscera and chunks of floating fish-fat slobbering about in a noxious brown liquid after being left in a broken sewer pipe in the summer heat for several months, and kept in a container about a quarter full of piss, topped up as needs be before a final evaporation, once the worms are busy wriggling and writhing in it. Sulfurous I handle, pyridine in the other hand, is just viscerally sickening. Grabs right at the part of one's brain that keeps on the lookout for vile stenches that could signify a danger, then twists hard and pulls.
Its unfortunate really because its really useful stuff. But that smell is TERRIBLE. They add it in tiny amounts to denatured methylated spirits to render it not only capable of poisoning a desperate pisspot alcoholic and blinding/killing the poor unfortunate, but to make sure nobody would even think of it. There might be about a drop or so of impure pyridine in a bottle of meths, and it still has a foul pyridine-ey reek to it that makes my gorge rise.
Could do with both some 90-95% HCOOH (formic acid), some formamide, and some ammonium formate as well, as reagents for catalytic transfer type hydrogenations and reductions like the Leukart-Wallach.
Plus some formaldehyde, for an Eschweiler-Clarke reductive methylation, yay, great. Another real foul toxic and acrid little fucking stinker. Although I might decide to make that instead.
Need to get some new gas mask canisters while I'm at it too. Might go ahead and treat myself to an NBC suit actually, go all the way, for that extra layer of insurance against noxious fumes. Been wanting one for a while now. Oh, and some good quality perfluorocarbon-based grease, which is super-inert against all manner of attack by even some of the most vicious and aggressive, faceeating horrors I'll ever come up against.
Need to stock the food fridge too though, I'm down to..err..a mango. I think thats it.
