Organics Rhyme Revisited

This conformational Glycoside is Cis, Trans/Alpha
A propofol bicombient in powdered alfalfa. This
Uronic oxidation of glucose to Cytosine,
Has got my mind spinning like a centrifuge on morphine.

Caffeine and ethanol in an Erlenmeyer flask,
Six point six grams of chlorine, so be quick up with the gas mask. I’m
Decanting the products with a glass rod titration, drippin’
Drops of bromo-phenol to observe discolouration.

Chloro-3-methylbenzene, drop it in and step away,
Stayin’ in another day to conclude this with an essay. So
Drop off the hosing for my steam distillation,
Stack the ice pack rack, compound crystallization. Packin’

tube upon test tube, for dilute and saturation. So I
Snip a slip of paper, Hydrogen ion concentration. And
Put away with the gravity, I’m suckin’ suction filtration,
And percent yield? Fetch the parafilm, I’ll work out the calculation.

‘Cause I’m down with the carboxylic acids, aldehydes and ketones,
My mind is primed with the amides, the esters and the lactones
Alcoholic ethers, and a rate of reaction,
Psycho-cyclic amines, ultra-violet rarefaction.
From acid anhydrides to carboxyl-pi derivatives,
Alkyl halides top my list with limiting imperatives.
PKa’s in my hat, acid-base-conjugate pair,
I’m all over organics with no time to spare.

 
Arrive the next week to my fume hood station,
Cabinet A-29, forgot my locker combination. Got my
Goggles on site, for tight Gassification,
Clampin’ purified lactose, hooked up for sublimation. Streak!

R2A Agar cultured coliform strain,
Microscopic, field of view, Gram positive stain.
Contaminated colonies call for autoclave protocol
Rapid spreading virus thread, and pathogens for all

Seated round-bottom, in a hot water bath,
An occasional swirl for the good of a reaction path.
At 60 degrees C, probiotic inoculation. Then!
37, 40, and 45 Incubation. Go

Talk it up ‘till completed Dr. Barfoed’s test,
Monosaccharides are present, good grief I could have guessed.
I got my tables all alligned, chat to check with the rest.
Hope the T.A. agrees, part C is off my chest

‘Cause I’m down with the carboxylic acids, aldehydes and ketones,
My mind is primed with the amides, the esters and the lactones
Alcoholic ethers, and a rate of reaction,
Psycho-cyclic amines, ultra-violet rarefaction.
From acid anhydrides to carboxyl-pi derivatives,
Alkyl halides top my list with limiting imperatives.
PKa’s in my hat, acid-base-conjugate pair,
I’m all over organics with no time to spare.
