Dcm Memes

MUHAHAHA! The ultimate organic chemistry betrayal! First you're all excited about your acid-base extraction, separating compounds like a BOSS! Then you discard the lower aqueous layer because, pfft, who needs that watery nonsense? BUT WAIT—you used dichloromethane (DCM) as your solvent, which is HEAVIER than water and sinks to the BOTTOM! *maniacal laughter turns to sobbing* You just threw away your precious product instead of the waste! That's why chemists wake up screaming at night—not because of explosions, but because they remember that time they poured their PhD down the drain! 💀⚗️
