"Old Qiu, what's happening?"
As soon as Xu Yun returned to the lab, he asked Qiu Sheng, who was holding a test tube:
"It's been just over an hour, right? The substitution reaction is completed already?"
"Exactly, let me put this down first."
Qiu Sheng carefully placed the test tube down, walked over to another table to pick up a paper report, and handed it to Xu Yun:
"To be precise, it was one hour and twenty-seven minutes. The activity of 5-epoxy-1-hexadecene seems much higher than we anticipated."
Xu Yun glanced at the report and nodded:
"This kind of curve... It seems to be an issue with the temperature setting, probably related to when I asked Xiaozhao to increase the temperature.
Old Qiu, my expertise isn't in chemistry; does 5-epoxy-1-hexadecene have that much difference in activity between 180 degrees and 170 degrees?"
Qiu Sheng pondered for a while, then shook his head:
"I'm familiar with 5-epoxy-1-dodecene, but hexadecene... seems not well understood domestically.
