Haha, yeah, two weeks is a long end...
I have the article here as well, but I regret the use of some expensive chemicals, especially for the trifluoromethylation. I have done some research in the library to find cheaper alternatives, but most searches were in vain. I had some ideas when I was doing the searching, but unless I can find my notes again, I can't give the exact details.
What intrigued me more about this substance was how and why it is that more potent, but also if there have been human trials. I don't know if the information from TFSE is reliable. Two weeks sounds alot. That is about 14 times longer then DOB
