We may have a new expression in the making, "morganism." Definition: A morganism is a post with reference(s) but little or no other content leaving
one wondering, "was there a point?" I'm an advocate of Green Chemistry. The article seems to indicate some new ground breaking on the GC front. If
that was the point.... You might have discussed a possible application related to your interests. Or you could have suggested the use of FeSO4 etc.
in someone's recently reported experiment or posted question... I am in favor of a Green Chemistry sub-forum but there would have to be enough
interest and activity to ask P to set it up.

I thought the new thread just above discussing converting to amides shows there was some interest in a simple and easy to aquire materials catalyst.
You physics teachers are tough !
If i come across some interesting chem techniques, i post it up here.
One liners seem to be most helpful to skimmers, associations i leave to the experts here...

Is there a journal reference in there somewhere?
Edit: Nevermind I found it.
"Subhash Chandra Ghosh, Joyce S. Y. Ngiam, Christina L. L. Chai, Abdul M. Seayad, Tuan Thanh Dang and Anqi Chen. Iron-catalyzed efficient synthesis of
amides from aldehydes and amine hydrochloride salts. Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, Volume 354, Issue 8, May 21, 2012, Pages: 1407%u20131412 DOI:
10.1002/adsc.201200020"
I'd be wary though, I tried a similar method using copper sulfate to isomerize the oxime (formed in situ via one-pot reaction from the aldehyde) and
it was absolute crap.
Can anyone get the full paper though?
