well. let me think about this. route a is probably the most suitable because it uses the fewest steps. on the other hand, it's not very cost efficient. alternatively, route b uses very similar chemistry to the last project. so it might be the more reliable option. the biggest advantage of route b is it would definitely help us reduce the cost
despite taking a longer time. by the way, I was recently looking through the literature and found a very interesting new technique that i think you might be interested in. this help us create a third alternative. having said that, we would need to take an additional couple of days to do that. so you need to choose whether to give it to go. |
