Use

  • A general purpose cross linking reagent for imine type chiral nucleophilic reactions for which PVA may be used to reflux aminoacetaldehyde (Ethanamine) reagents as catalyst for effective

Myths and Facts about Pva

  • Chuck: If Acetonitrile may be converted to PVA, why is PVA not a functional 2-cyanoethyl reagent?
  • Oracle: Sure... Acetonitrile is a convenient cyanide aniomeric catalyst... Heck, there no doubt in my mind its N terminal can provide the required energy for efficient proton ion pumping...
  • Chuck: What do you mean with that? Is that even proper english? For an oracle you seem a little unreasonable...
  • Oracle: No kidding... you can surely convert PVOH solutions back to an acid... Ask a chemist... Oracle are good merely for solving uncomputable problems.,,Not discrete mathematics...So don't be uppity! Once upon a time I was metaprogramming pythons for a living, not real organisms or nothing fancy, just computable numbers...
  • Chuck: So..?
  • Oracle: Life is injust!
  • Oracle: You have to realize your full potential to live as a mere racemic enantiomer..
  • Chuck: I don't understand this.
  • Oracle: okay... Fine with me!
