Dear Sir or Madam,
I have PhD in organic chemistry. I was running R&D lab in household chemistry and cosmetics for over a year. Later I was working as team leader in medicinal chemistry lab. Currently I work as freelancer providing articles, reviews and know-how from the fields like biology, chemistry and medicine.
I have 8 years of experience at University, 3 years in private R&D labs followed by 4 years of freelancing as a consultant.
The reaction you need to run is pretty basic. I will find the best solution that will minimize the amount of solvents and catalysts. Please note that the presence of some acid (in example acetic acid, vinegar) will be required.
Looking forward to your reply
Chris
