The author of the Kilomentor blog retired from the chemical industry in 2009. Therefore, none of the articles with their stated facts, expressed opinions, or recommendations concerning methods take into account developments since around 2010.
The focus of Kilomentor has always been the improvement in the isolation and purification of isolated process intermediates or final products, and less upon the selection of the particular chemical transformations (that is, the reactions used). This 'philosophy' I expect will age better than the chemistry.
For this reason, I have allowed the Kilomentor blog to remain available online, but with the significant caution that any advice it offers should be recalibrated against the more recent developments in the art.
