Wittig reaction Memes

Parents worried about their teens texting slang have nothing on chemistry nerds! While normies decode "lol" and "ttyl," the true intellectuals are swapping regioselectivity warnings and Grignard oxidation alerts. That "smh = so much hybridization" hits different when you've spent nights drawing orbital diagrams. And "btw = boi, that's wittig" is literally how I text my lab partner when we nail that alkene synthesis. Next time you see a chemistry student hunched over their phone with a manic grin, they're not planning a party—they're probably just excited about carbenes. The struggle is real.

The chemistry vs. biology representation gap is REAL! 😂 Chemists show off with their fancy Wittig reaction mechanism - all those electron-pushing arrows, intermediates, and mysterious "EWG" groups. Meanwhile, biologists are over here with their adorable Pac-Man style enzyme diagrams! The contrast is hilarious - one field needs a PhD to understand their "simple" reaction, while the other explains complex cellular processes with what looks like a hungry blue circle. And biochemists? They're the ultimate translators who understand BOTH languages - no wonder they've achieved godlike status in the science world!
