DABCO Odor

Hello, I found your question in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry/Archive_21#DABCO today. Well, I got two bottles of crystalline DABCO (producer: Air Products), and it smells like peanuts (weakly reminding of pyridine, too). --FK1954 (d) 17 mars 2013 à 00:35 (CET)

thanks a lot! Air Products have catalysts called Dabco. Is it 100% DABCO i.e. 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane ?? --Titou (talk) 12:45, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

There are different catalysts under the brand of DABCO (even tin compounds). Ask for "DABCO crystal". --FK1954 (talk) 14:07, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Geminal halide hydrolysis may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Fungicides and herbicides

I noted your removal of mepronil from the list of fungicides and barban from the list of herbicides. Did it not occur to you that these could be genuine pesticide common names which just happened to have misleading wikilinks? Both are mentioned in the sourcing for the lists, notably the PPDB. I have now added mepronil to the section on Succinate dehydrogenase#Inhibitors and used that for its redirect, while using a piped link to Barban (herbicide) for barban. I hope that you will agree that this is more useful than what you did. Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:37, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Now everything is alright, thank you! --FK1954 (talk) 08:21, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

.... even better, as it prompted me to do a full article on mepronil. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:34, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
