a promising reaction

Finally, a promising reaction. The salt metathesis reaction I ran last week appears to have worked, although the NMR spectra indicate ~ 85% purity, and a pretty unassignable mess of chemical shifts. Nonetheless, I think crystallization might succeed, and if I can get some good single crystals then it will be up to Warren, the staff crystallographer, to do the rest. The first attempt will be slow evaporation of the reaction mixture.
