      Now that’s the dream, 876drud47! I have managed to convince colleagues to use my reactions 🙂 We don’t always know if other people are using our reactions because there are so many scientists and it’s hard to keep track of who is doing what- but I, and my boss, have been to lots of conferences to talk about my reaction so that people can know how it works and how to use it. Maybe one day I’ll find out if one of my reactions was ever used in the synthesis of a world-saving drug… But I’m happy just to know that I have made them, and other people know they are there to use.
