There is nothing more sensual than shoving ampules of dmso down your pants...wait, you people dont do that?

But yeah melting the tbuOH...honestly I worked hard on dolvent alternatives for Sharpless CuAAC (9:1 THF: H2O is my fave) because I hate tBuOH.

one of the worst experiences of my UG rsrch time was dispensing diphenyl ether from a 5 L bottle, not realizing it was not fully liquid. At point of pouring, the unmelted block slammed a horrifying gush EVERYwhere, which promptly solidified on every surface (pungently) of the grad student's hood...
