Family Theatre presents Lyle Betker and Jean Lockhart. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network and Cooperation with Family Theatre presents The Criminal, starring Lyle Betker. And now, here is your host, Jean Lockhart. Thank you, Tony Lafranco. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world. Family Theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family. Now to our transcribed drama, The Criminal, starring Lyle Betker as Alan. Did you talk to your father? No. When I got to the phone, Mr. Rivers was on the wire. He said Dad was in the library with a police inspector. Oh, things fantastic. You don't really think Dad had… Of course not, honey. I mean, it's fantastic. You should even be suspected. It's a misunderstanding. That's all. Even Mr. Rivers says it was nonsense. Well, now there you are. If the president of the bank tells you not to worry, that's enough for me. After all these years to be accused, even to be accused of embezzlement… It's a mistake, Paula. And he hasn't really been accused. But the money's missing. They'll find who took it. Now get hold of yourself. It's just such a shock. I know, baby, but you've got to keep your head. We can't help him by wringing our hands. Did you tell Rivers we were leaving the club right away? Yes. Did you tell the police I'm your father's attorney? Yes. He said they wouldn't do anything until we got there. Okay, now stop worrying. We can probably clear the whole thing up in 15 minutes. There's still a questioning him. Yes, in the library. Isn't Paula with you? No, she went upstairs. She's pretty upset. I could imagine. Oh, incidentally, there's been another development. The district attorneys come into the case. Broderick? He's on his way over right now. He doesn't waste any time. I'm thinking the same thing. How did he get a hold of this so quickly? Why did you first learn of it? The bank examiner called me this afternoon about four. He might have called the DA at the same time. Even so, it's so quick. Almost as if Broderick was waiting for it. You think he might be trying to make some political hay out of this? Why shouldn't he? It's perfect. You're running against him this fall. Jim and I are your biggest backers. I know, but even so, there's no possibility that Mr. Gray would do. But I'm thinking how it can look or how Broderick can make it look if he presses for an indictment. Let him press. We'll laugh him out of court. I hope so. Yes? I'm glad you're here, Alan. Mr. Gray. Jim, come in. Sit down. How did it go? Pretty embarrassing yet, I can tell you that. Someone looks you in the eye and all but says you're a thief and you get the feeling like one. Now, don't let it get you down. First of all, there's not a scrap of evidence. The money's missing, Alan. That's evidence. I know if I were a policeman, I'd think so. It's a bad dream, Jim. It's a nightmare. Mr. Gray, listen. Who could have taken it? Who actually handled the investment accounts? Well, that's just it. Technically, they were my responsibility. No, I mean the books. A vice president doesn't do that. Well, that gets us into a problem. What do you mean? Well, for the last three months, I've been using Mr. Jameson to handle those accounts. But they're cleaners of whistle for the last three months. That's what I was afraid of. It means we're up a blind alley. Oh, good grief, Jim. Was it old man Murray who formally handled those books? For the last 12 years, right up to the day before he took his pension. Oh, brother. What's wrong? If this man marries the guilty party... You don't seem to understand, Alan. We can't bring Murray to trial. Why not? He died last April. Heart attack. You all through? Yes. Could I talk to you privately for a moment? All right. Let's go out to your car. Let's keep it short, huh? Pretty late.  Just doing my job. All right, so now you've done your job. I've let you fire questions at my client in his own house for the last two hours. Thanks for the cooperation, Mr. Michael.  I wouldn't say that.  I can understand a little publicity-seeking, but not a thing like... Look, Michaels, I didn't take the 200,000. And neither did Mr. Gregg. The man's one of the foremost investment counselors in this state. He's got a spotless reputation. They all have until they're caught. It was Murray, his bookkeeper. The thing's so plain it's childish. Murray handled the accounts, kept the books... ...and then very conveniently died four months ago. What of it? I don't like it. That's what of it. The built-in Patsy. The little man who isn't there. And who can't be put on trial. That's what you really don't like, isn't it? No, don't get silly. There's no trial. There's no headlines, and we can't have that. It wouldn't be your thinking of headlines, would it? And how to keep your future father-in-law out of them? All right. I'll tell you what I'll do. I suppose no matter how much mud you'll have to throw, you're gonna try for an indictment. I think I can get one. If I promised to withdraw from the race for district attorney, would you drop this thing? You've got me all figured out, haven't you, Michael? I think it's a fair offer. That's why you're going into it. I'm just a political hack. Night school lawyer who couldn't make a living if he weren't on the state payroll, huh? Now, let's keep personalities out of this. I've made you a proposition. That's right. And it's about the dirtiest one I've had this week. I think you know why I'm doing this. I don't care why you're doing it. You're doing it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Greg's as clean as a whistle. He is. Why won't you say it? Because I don't look at it the way you do. But you're just going to injure the man needlessly. You're making a mistake. I hope you're right. You won't believe it, but... I always hope an accused man is telling the truth when he claims to be innocent. Even when he's backing your political opponent? Maybe Greg never told you. Told me what? Twelve years ago, he backed me for district attorney. And he's only asked me to do one thing all the time I've been in office. This is a nice way to show your gratitude. It's the only way I can. How do you figure? The thing he asked me to do was a good job. Yes. Yes. Fine. Fine, Ms. Wilkins. As well. Okay. Well, I found her. Mrs. Murray? Yep. Oh, Alan, that's wonderful. Where's she living, son? Out in Roger's Heights. About ten miles from here. Under another name, too. Henry. Well, that proves it. She wouldn't have that if she didn't have something to hide. You were thinking of bringing Mrs. Murray in as a witness? Not unless she won't lead us to the money. Does she know you're looking for her? No. Private detective located her. He posed as the door-to-door salesman. Well, I must say, this lists a load from my chest. I'll say. One day away from the trial, it's cutting it pretty thin. I'm sorry we even have to go into court, Mr. Greg. But at this late date, I do think it's better to produce her openly. As you wish, Alan. Oh, just a few more things. Now, we're going to have to spar with Broderick for a day or so, unless the Murray woman gives us all the information right away. I understand.   Your annual salary is $25,000. No, plus an extra ten to twelve thousand from investments. Broderick's bound to try making something of this, so we'd better sew it up tight. By all means. I assume you made the investments of the sort that you advised the bank clients to make. It would be rather foolish not to take my own advice, wouldn't it? Sure would. Incidentally, Alan, quite a few of Jim's clients have offered to come forward as character witnesses. Here's a list of them. Good. You think they'd be willing to submit a list of the investments that Mr. Greg recommended to them? I don't see why not. Fine. And Mr. Greg, have you a record of the investments you made? It's all in my tax forms. Well, now, if you can furnish those for me by the time we go into court tomorrow, I think we'll have this licked. I'll be happy to. I'll have them sent to your office this afternoon. Well, I guess that does it. Can I drop you anywhere, honey? Well, I thought we were going to have lunch. Can I have a rain check? I think Mrs. Murray's going to take up most of my time today. Do you expect any trouble from her, Alan? There could be plenty. If she doesn't scare easy. Yes? Mrs. Henry? Yes? Here's my card, Mrs. Henry. I'm a lawyer. I'd like to talk to you. Alan, Michael. Yes, it's about your husband. I don't have a husband. I know that, Mrs. Murray. What do you want? I want to help you. May I step inside? Oh, all right. Come on in. Now, what about my husband? Come on, if I sit down. Do it. Suit yourself. Thank you. I take it you've seen a newspaper in the last few days. You mean about Mr. Gregg? He goes on trial tomorrow morning. He'll be all right. They'll never convict him. The district attorney is going to try pretty hard. If he's innocent, they won't convict him. Maybe not. But they'll drag him through the mud, and even if he's finally acquitted, it'll probably ruin him. Why? Because there'll always be doubt in people's minds. They'll always wonder. You can't stop people from doing that. Yes, you can. You can prove someone else was guilty. I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. I'm talking about your husband, Mrs. Murray. Get out of here. Now, that won't do any good. I'm trying to be polite about this. The insurance people won't be. What insurance people? The ones who have to make good that $200,000 your husband's stock. Oh, you're bluffing. I haven't got anything to bluff with, Mrs. Murray. I'm just telling you how it's going to be. I don't know anything about it. They'll hound you to death. They've been robbed. But I don't know where it is. Joe told me once he made some money on investments, but it wasn't that much. Then why did you change your name and move away? I just wanted to.  But they can hurt me. Not if you weren't in on it. Well, during the last few years, Joe seemed to have a little more money, but it was just a little more. Then the rest of it's got to be somewhere. Well, all I've got is his pension and the insurance. His papers might prove it? I don't know where they are. He hasn't got any papers. Mrs. Murray, listen to me.  I guess not. All right. But now it's too late for your husband to make that decision. Now it's up to you. Oh, I don't know what to do. Joe never admitted to me that he was stealing. But you suspected it. Well, I didn't understand where the extra money was coming from. He was a methodical man. He must have kept records. He... I know he was renting a safety deposit box downtown. He tell you that? No, I got a notice from him about two weeks ago that the box rent was due. And you have no idea what he kept there? No, but I... I found a key that I didn't recognize. Mrs. Murray, would you help me find out if it's the right key? Well, I... I guess there's not much else I can do. Excuse me, I'll have to change. I can't go downtown looking like this. Mind if I come in, Paula? Well, of course not, dear, but it's almost one in the morning. Well, what's wrong? Is your dad still awake? I know he went to bed about an hour ago, but I think he's reading. Has Mr. Rivers called? Oh, no. He's probably on his way over. Ellen, what's this all about? Come on into the library. I want to show you something I found this afternoon. About the case? Yeah. Do you want me to get dad? Well, maybe it better. It's probably Mr. Rivers. Will you answer it? Sure. I'll go upstairs and get dad. All right, we'll be in the library. Ellen. Hi, Mr. Rivers. What's going on? Come on in. I just got here myself. You said you'd located something in Murray's deposit box. Got it all right here in my briefcase. Paula went up to him. Wake, Mr. Gregg. They'll be right down. You think you can prove Murray was the person who took the money? No question about it. Ellen, I can't tell you how proud and grateful... Now, you'd better say the congratulations until you hear the whole story, Mr. Rivers. What do you mean? This is an unexpected visit, Ed, Ellen. Jim, he's got it. Murray's the man. Is that what you were going to show me, Ellen? That and a few other things. Would you all make yourselves comfortable? How did the interview go with Mrs. Murray, Ellen? Very productive. Now, it seems that Murray kept records in a deposit box. Very complete records of the money and what he did with it. You think the evidence is airtight? As far as it goes, yes. If Murray were alive, we could take him into court and prove he was an embezzler. I believe quite a few questions unanswered. What do you mean, Ellen? Well, I went downtown with Mrs. Murray and we opened the deposit box. All I found were these investment receipts, records of stocks and bonds that Murray had bought with the stolen money. They were sizable transactions and very successful, too. That's strange. Murray was hardly what I'd call a shrewd financial analyst. That's the way it hit me, Mr. Rivers. So I assumed if he was a thief on one count, he wouldn't stop at helping himself to any advice that might have been available. You mean financial advice? It occurred to me, Mr. Gregg, that he might have kept close tab on the advice you were giving to your clients and using that without you knowing it. I suppose that's possible. I keep such information very confidential. Of course, once the transaction is complete and the purchase is credited to their account, then Murray wouldn't know about it. He was the man who kept the records. That must have been it, Jim. That's the only way he could have done it. Well, that's the way it looked to me. But there was one thing that didn't fit. What? The money. That's what stopped me. The money itself had just vanished. Well, maybe he spent it. On what? His way of life improved a little, but not $200,000 worth. Well, he might simply have hidden the money in a shoebox or something. I thought about that, too, but it didn't make sense. He wouldn't have had to. Well, how do you figure that? Murray made enough to return the stolen money, or at least a lot of it, and still be ahead of the game, way ahead. So why didn't he return the money? I can't imagine. It would have been simple if he'd wanted to. Exactly. So the only answer that made sense is that he didn't have it to return. Well, I'll admit it's a puzzle, but it still doesn't alter the fact that Murray took the money. You say you've got proof of that. Yes, but I still didn't know where the money went. What became of it? So I got to wondering about those investments. What do you mean? I mean I got checking the purchase dates of Murray's investments against those of your father's clients. What did you expect to learn from that? Well, for one thing, I noticed that most of Murray's transactions were short-term investments. He'd buy a stock, hold onto it for a few days at the most, and then unload it, usually at a profit. That's not uncommon. Do many of your clients do that, Mr. Gregg? Yes. I have occasionally done it myself. Of course, you have to know what you're doing. That's what I mean. It takes knowledge and timing. Oh, yes, indeed. What do you mean, timing out? I mean it has to be done quickly. You have to know when to buy and when to sell, or you won't make any profit. Oh. Sometimes it's just a matter of hours, isn't it, Mr. Gregg? Well, it's infrequent, but here sometimes. I noticed that none of Murray's short-term transactions ever ran for more than a few days. I mean between the time he bought the stock and then sold it. Alan, what are you getting at? Well, I'm just trying to figure something out. Can't you tell us what it is? All right, Paula. I'm trying to figure out why your father freely gave Mr. Murray the same financial advice he gave in confidence to his paying clients. Gave, Mr. Murray? Alan. Son, aren't you jumping at rather rash conclusions? I hope I am, Mr. Gregg. But look at these purchase dates and some of Murray's receipts. Now here, take this one, the oil stock. March 10th, last year. Now look at this list of purchases that one of your clients gave Mr. Rivers. Same date, same stock. March 10th. But Dad told you Murray handled the records. That's right. But if this client bought the stock on March 10th, Murray wouldn't receive the purchase slip from the man's broker for two or three days. Yet Murray went ahead and bought the same stock on the same day the client did. Well, that doesn't prove anything. It could be a coincidence. Sure it could. And so could all those other transactions. Murray must have got the information some other way in heaven's name. How? Can you think of any other way, Mr. Gregg? Well, not of how. Murray stole it. What's the difference? How, Alan? The difference is that I'm supposed to go into court and defend your father on a charge of embezzlement tomorrow. Alan, I can't believe this is you talking. It's not me talking, Paula. It's the evidence. Now, when I produce this against Murray tomorrow, Broderick's going to ask what became of the money. We've got to be able to prove that Mr. Gregg wasn't in collusion with Murray. Collusion? That's the word Broderick will use. Alan, I can't listen to any more of this. Don't you trust dad? Do you think he's a thief? I think he's in trouble. Just because of the dates on those purchase slips. Not only that. What do you mean? Yes, and what do you mean? Outside of your income tax forms, have you any proof of these investments? Proof? What kind of proof? Purchase slips, like Murray's in your clients. What other proof would you want if I paid taxes on the money? I still wouldn't prove where you got it. Didn't you keep records of the transactions, Jim? Naturally, but I saw no point in keeping them indefinitely, at least not the purchase slips themselves. What about the brokerage house you dealt with? They'd have records of the transactions, wouldn't they? I don't deal exclusively with one house. No matter how many there were, we could run them down. Well, to be frank, I don't always make the purchases in my own name, either. If brokers know a financial expert is hot on a certain investment, it might cause a run on the thing. Well, what other names did you use? Look, Alan, it would be such an involved operation. Why is it so important? Aren't my own tax records sufficient? I don't believe Broderick would think so. Oh, why not? Because the amount you declared as investment profit over the last ten years is very close to the amount that's been stolen. I see. Jim. Yes, Ed. Why did you do it? It's... It's not easy to explain. Oh, dad! I'm sorry, Paul, I... Yes, I always knew I'd have to do this someday trying to make you understand. But why, Jim? Why? Because I was afraid. Afraid? Oh, not like you think. I wasn't afraid the way Murray was. You and Murray did work together, sir? Not at first. Not until after I caught him. I found he was juggling the books. When was this? Over ten years ago. I went to him and I told him he'd have to return the money and go to jail. Why didn't you report him? I felt sorry for him and, in a way, I admired him. Admired him? Yes, I admired his faith in himself. He had a system worked out. He told me a system for beating no horses. It didn't work, of course. He lost money all the time, but he stuck by it. He believed in it. He was willing to back his own judgment. Did he return the money? He said he didn't have it, so I said he could have to the end of the month. And then what happened? Well, he came into my office one morning about two weeks later with a list of short-term investments I'd advised clients of mine to make. Murray remarked that if I'd had the capital to make those same investments myself, I'd have realized a profit of almost a hundred percent. Then he gave you the idea of cashing in on your own know-how. Well, he at least planted the germ of the idea. And then on it was simple. I had him over a barrel anyhow, so it wasn't hard to make him play along. I see. You did the brand work, and he made the purchases. That's all there was to it. I guess you'd better call Mr. Broderick, Ed, and the insurance people. Jim, is there any way you could pay at all? Well, no, Ed. You can't cover up a thing like this. You'd have to resign. Can't be done, Mr. Rivers. Embezzlement's a criminal offense. Alan, they'll send him to prison. My children, Alan's right. He's not! What matters is the money, isn't it? Isn't it, Mr. Rivers? Alan, it's the central issue. If Jim could pay it back... It is not the central issue. It's easy for you to be righteous about this. It is not?  Alan, let's stop to consider the consequences. What do you think I've been considering? Have you considered that you'd lose me? Have you thought about that? Would I lose you, Paula? Do you think I could stay in love with a man who sent my father to jail? Paula, Paula, you're not being fair. I'm the one who did this. I have to pay for it. All right, but won't giving back the money pay for it? It's not the same thing, honey. Your father's right, Paula. You like thinking that, don't you? It eases your conscience to let him sacrifice himself. Ease my conscience. Well, that's what it is. Haven't you learned anything here tonight? I've learned something about you. You and your precious laws and evidence. Paula, this isn't helping things. No, let her finish. What else have you learned? What do you mean? Have you learned what happens to a man when he's afraid to believe in himself? Are you trying to say that's what's wrong with you? It was. It was until 10 minutes ago. And then what happened? I listened to your father tell us he stole $200,000 because he didn't have guts enough to risk his own money on something he believed in. That's not why he did it. Ask him. I was afraid, he said. He was afraid to trust his own judgment. It's true, Paula. And I'm no better. I was afraid, too. Three weeks ago, the night Broderick was here, I offered to pull out of the election if he dropped the indictment against your dad. You didn't tell me about this. Well, I'm telling you now. And Broderick was insulted. A 10 cent mail order lawyer. And that insulted him. You didn't have to do that, Alan. Of course I didn't. But I thought it would be smoother, simpler. I was completely convinced of your innocence. But I still wasn't willing to gamble on it. Well, maybe it's just as well you'd have lost. But not by default. That's the difference. At least I would have tried. That's what I've learned here tonight. You've got to decide who you are and what you believe. And then you've got to try. Does that mean you're going to Broderick with this evidence? That's what it means. Even if you know I'll never forgive you. I don't want your forgiveness, Paula. I want your love. Don't you know it can't ever be the same again? Maybe it shouldn't be. Maybe we didn't have as much as we thought. I thought we had something wonderful. I was sure of it. I'm sorry, Paula. Alan. Yes, sir? If you're going to get in touch with Broderick when you leave here, wouldn't it be a lot simpler if I came along and gave him a complete statement? Yes, it would, sir. I can dress in a few minutes if you don't mind waiting. Not at all. I won't be long. Oh, Ed. Yes, Ted. Would you like to come up and help me pick out a necktie? Sure. We'll be down in a few minutes, Alan. No rush. Alan. Paula, let's drop it. I'm doing what I think I have to do. I wasn't thinking about that. What were you thinking of? Us. I still can't completely understand why it has to be this way about Dad. I know. I don't expect you to. But I want to. And I think I should. Because it seems to have something to do with how you'll stand by what your heart tells you is right. I like to think that's what it is. So do I. Why should it matter to you now? Because after all this is over and I begin to understand why it had to happen. I'll still care what your heart tells you about me. This is Gene Lockhart again. I recently read a newspaper article about an industrial relations survey that was conducted by a well-known research organization. They sent out long questionnaires to the personnel directors of more than a hundred companies. What they wanted to learn were the main reasons people get fired from their jobs. Was it inefficiency, laziness, dishonesty? When they got all the questionnaires back and began to compare them, the research people were astonished. The answers sent back all boiled down to the same thing. The trouble with most employees we have had to let go is that they just can't get along with other people. In a way it's a little hard to imagine a person being such a social misfit that he can't even adjust to working with other people. For that's exactly what the problem comes down to. Adjustment. Not even the good Lord insists that we make a boon to the companion of everyone we work with any more than he expects us constantly to shoulder our daily burdens as if they were a series of picnic baskets. We simply aren't made that way. And who would know that better than he who made us? But God does require, and each of us has a right to expect, that we all try to get through this world causing as little pain to others as possible. When we refuse to adjust to the imperfections of our neighbor, whether it's the man next to us on the job or the telephone operator who may give us a wrong number, we are as far from loving God as the Pharisee. We are sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, and though we may say Lord, Lord, until we're blue in the face, by our fruits he will know us. So when we suggest on family theater that daily family prayer is pleasing to God, we automatically assume that such prayer is offered up in an atmosphere of neighborly love and understanding. Otherwise, it would be a mockery for us to keep assuring you that the family that prays together stays together.  Describe the criminal starring Lyle Betger. Gene Lockhart was your host.

how to get rid of intrusive thoughts fast.   You can think of it as a river, like water in the river that are, you know, floating by you or whatever floats your boat. And when something unfavorable or something that doesn't make me feel good pops up, and I kind of imagine it as like floating by, okay, see you later. Like you don't need to grab that cloud out of the sky or put a dam in the river to stop that thought and laser focus in on it. Just acknowledge it and let it go. See you later. I'm not gonna think about that. Goodbye. There's no reason to dial in and focus on that and just like, whoa, let it go crazy in your head. Just let it go. The more times you do that with that specific thought, it's not gonna come around as much because you're not giving it the focus and you're not giving it the attention.

Jasper's case breaks. Oh


I mean, not a great first impression on your new boss. Miri-less training for her new life is daredevil. Even Halbrand wasn't somehow dead, the horse's sure would be, you know, okay. King of a village that exploded. Well, after the way episode seven ended, I'm dying to know how the Southlanders are doing. But we start this episode with not Gandalf, who drops his apple, which then Griggy scampers away with it. Oh, just kidding. Nori takes it, takes back the apple that she gave to him and oh, just kidding, it's actually the pop star who cleverly shape-shifted to lure not Gandalf away from the tree he was standing near towards a different tree. It's a very brilliant way to take your enemy bicep. Oh, just kidding. According to them, this is Sauron and they are here to serve him. Not sure why they needed to trick him and freak him out like that. I mean, not a great first impression on your new boss. Galadriel meanwhile is galloping across all of Middle Earth with a super dead Halbrand behind her. Then we cut to Kelle Brimborn, who was wishing that they could somehow do more with less because all they have is this tiny little nugget of Mithril. This is of course, when Elrond explains that while he was in Khazadum, they learned that this little nugget has infinite healing properties. And if they just pass this little nugget around, then every elf can be healed. Oh wait, he doesn't say that. Hmm. I wonder if Durin made him vow not to share that secret too. Galadriel meanwhile demonstrates the incredible strength of Elfkind by leaping from her horse while wearing full plate armor. She tells them that they've been riding for six days straight without rest, which of course is a figure of speech in elf culture. I mean, if they have literally ridden six days without rest, even if Halbrand wasn't somehow dead, the horses sure would be. Elrond takes one look at this dying stranger that she's dumped on their doorstep and is like, I should not have sent you on that ship. But Elrond shouldn't feel too badly about it. After all, it was Gilgalad that sent her on that ship. Galadriel tells Elrond, when I left from that ship, all I could do was swim and hope that I had chosen wisely. I mean, if she meant the swimming, yeah, I mean, probably wise. Either get busy swimming or get busy nighting. If she meant the leaping though, probably not her brightest move. But Galadriel decided that her weekend adventure is now universally applicable to all of Elfkind. I would make a great addition to Elvish turns of phrase. So when Elrond asks, what are we to do? She's like, the only thing we can do, swim. Stop trying to make that happen. Meanwhile, it looks like they luckily had some of Arundir's magic seats lying around because Halbrand is totes fine. Wandering around Calibramor's workshop where he goes full Jack Skellington in the North Pole. What's this? What's this? He first spots these weird-looking rocks and he's like, I've never seen anything like them. And Calibramor is all like, ah, yes. That is because I, the great Elf Smith Calibramor, have invented plastic. Next Halbrand spots the Mithril. Calibramor tells them they don't have enough and Halbrand is like enough for what? But he doesn't need to hear the answer to that question before coming up with some great ideas. Have you tried combining it with other ores to stretch it and amplify its qualities? And the legendary master, Smith Calibramor, is like, combine with other ores? Mind blown.  The king is like, brah, I am right here. Farazon continues and tells these stone masons that they will all soon need to forge a tomb of stone, which is when they all realize that he is an imposter because everyone knows you can only forge metals. Next we see Allicent alone with the dying king who begins rambling about something mysterious. Hang on, wrong show. Isildur's sister is sketching the dying king when he grabs her hand and tells her, I know what you've been doing in the dark of night when you thought all eyes were asleep. Damn, you don't gotta call a girl out like that. That's her business. Anyway, she shuts that down real quick, telling him your handmaid will be back in a moment, my king. I don't know if I've had any funny ideas. Just in case though, she goes to try and find a guard, but they've decided to leave this nobody completely 100% alone with the king. I mean, I guess they're understaffed with everyone on the Middle Earth's field trip. King decides to try one more time to convince her though by showing her his man cave. And what does she think of it? Guess we're going to have to stay tuned to find out. Meanwhile, back in Middle Earth, Celebromore suggests making a crown of the Mithril. That way they can cure one person, but a circular form he says is ideal because it will allow the light to arc back upon itself, building in power. Get right up until you stick a head in it. But I think Gilgillad's getting a little bit senile because he responds to this by saying, perilous are these whisperings. Galadriel decides to humor him, going along with it, saying, sometimes the perilous path is the only path. Celebromore lets slip that Hallibrand gave him the idea for the crown, and Gilgillad is pissed that some nobody is telling his master, Smith, what to do. But Celebromore says, his suggestion was but the key that unlocked the dam too soon, bro. Gilgillad then tells him to disband the city. They're all too polite to tell him that disband doesn't mean what he thinks it means. Elrond then begs the king for three more months that he's owed that much. I mean, I'm not sure why he'd be owed. You are owed nothing. I mean, yeah, that's what I thought. Elrond is like, dang it. Okay, well, how about you do it cause I asked real nice, pretty plingies with sugar on top. And then Gandalf says, there was never much hope just to fools, oh sorry, wrong movie again. Gilgillad says, it is a fool's hope. Elrond fires back with hope is never mere, even when it is meager. Oh, no, he didn't. Meanwhile, Galadriel is getting suspicious that even though he had the royal key chain, that dude with the Northern accent might not actually be the king of the Southlands after all. Halbrand comes in all, I can't believe little old me gets to be in this place. Thank you so much, Galadriel. And Galadriel's like, sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine, we're square. Halbrand is like, you did way more than save my life and I won't forget it and I'll see to it no one else does either.  That means a lot. Meanwhile, back in the forest, the new hires start telling the boss man how powerful he is. And he's like, right on. And starts experimenting with his superpowers. But his new staff is like, whoa, they're jammy and nothing ever that. I mean, you're totally in charge but we're just gonna tie you up, all right? But then his best buds, the Harfoots, create a diversion by making bird noises in a forest. Hearing this unexpected and unlikely sound, his new staff immediately goes to check it out. Or do they? Turns out that Naut Sauron is actually that shape shifter again. But luckily they are totally incapacitated by the all powerful saddock, wrapping his little hard foot arms around his legs. Gotta take him out. So he gets a knife to the gut. Better get him on a horse so he can ride six days and nights so we can get that looked at. Then Naut Sauron takes out two out of the three of them with this big blast of power. Little did he know that one of them can teleport and goes after the Harfoots. Luckily, saddock still has the strength to deal a death blow by stabbing them in the foot.  Naturally, the only way to take care of this threat is by setting the entire forest on fire. This keeps the shape shifter busy long enough for Naut Sauron to have a lengthy heart to heart which convinces Naut Sauron to help.  Go back to the, oh sorry, wrong movie again. Naut Sauron says, from the shadow you came to the shadow I bid you return. I'm good.  The others are like, I mean, you could like carry back maybe get someone to look at that.  Meanwhile, the new Minorians returning from their field trip. Myriel is training for her new life as daredevil, counting her steps. Six, seven, eight. And then sasmaster Elendil comes in with it's nine. Myriel seems concerned about Elendil and suggests he might wanna take bereavement leave after they get back. Cause it looks like the only new Minorian that died was Isildur. Elendil's back to his old tricks, answering questions with complete non sequiturs. You asked me why I pulled Galadriel from the sea. I mean, yeah, it seemed like you were suggesting the sea wasn't right by doing that, which is a big no-no. I claimed to have had little choice, but the truth is I could have left her there. You definitely knew that, my dude. I could have refused to follow her to Middle Earth. You're not sure about that one. I mean, your queen is the one that ordered that, so I guess you could have been a deserter. I could have stopped my son from doing so. Okay, I'll give you that one. I made the choices I did because Elendil does not merely mean one who loves the stars. Oh, oh, what else does it mean? Elendil? What else does it mean? Elendil, I just never imagined it would lead here. What was the original question? Miril goes back on deck when Numenor is in sight, but she's got to keep up the charade that she can still see, so she puts that blindfold right back on. But then, even though neither Elendil nor anybody else says anything or does anything, her spidey senses start tingling. She knows something's up, and is like, Elendil, what is it? What do you see? And we pan over and see that while they were gone, the rest of the Numenorean ships turned pirate. Meanwhile, back in Middle Earth, Nethril makes the oven go boom. Galadriel suggests that they are pushing themselves too hard, and Halbrand goes eureka. The metals shouldn't be forced together, but coaxed. Here, Nethril, Nethril, Nethril, come here, Nethril. That's a good Nethril, come here. A little while later, Galadriel's reviewing the background check she ordered and Halbrand comes to tell her that they've figured it out. They need to make two. That way they can cure two people, two crowns, no, something smaller, necklaces, anklets, bracelets. Come see for yourself, not until you tell me who you really are, and then throws her evidence on the ground where no one can read it. There is no king of the Southlands, but you told me there was. You told me I was him. You lied to me? The last man to have that key chain, he died a thousand years ago. I told you I found it on a dead man. It looks like Galadriel contracted whatever it is that's affecting Gilgallad and Elendil because she responds with, no, on the raft, you saved me. You convinced Meryl to save the men of Middle Earth. Halbrand is starting to get a little bit worried about her mental state and her sanity. Uh, no, that was you. I wanted to stay in Numenor. Galadriel's having none of it. Tell me your name. Not wanting to freak her out. She is clearly losing it. Halbrand uses the me-thrill strategy to coax her back to reality, explaining that he didn't know where the key chain came from. I mean, when she told him that it meant he was king, he wasn't super excited about that idea. He just wanted a simple life as a Smith. But when she insisted that she needed his help, he felt like he'd be letting her down if he did. Oh, just kidding. The master manipulator and deceiver is like, you caught me. I'm totes siren. So you wanna collab bestie? Galadriel starts really freaking out then. I'm not your bestie. Your bestie is Morgoth.  You deceived me. Girl, when?   So queen, you wanna collab on saving Middle Earth or what? Rule. Both? Both is good. Never. You know I'm an elf supremacist. So Galadriel goes back to Kalebramorn and is like, I kicked that low life Halbrand out. We don't need his kind around here. Kalebramore is like, we still gonna make these rings though? Oh, most definitely.  But this has gotta be for elves alone.  If Halbrand tells them that all they gotta do is mix it with gold or silver, doesn't matter. Also, you gotta make three, cause I want one too. All right. You gotta contribute to this project. How about that sweet dagger your brother gave you? I guess. Meanwhile, the Harfits have got themselves a nice shire going, which naturally means it's time to move on to somewhere less nice. Nori tells not, not Gandalf that she's had enough adventure for a lifetime. But then Nori's family kicks her out and is like, let's get back to adventuring. And Nori's like, yippee, so long suckas. But first she does a secret handshake with her dad. Meanwhile, back with the elf nationalists, they're ready to start using the gold and silver from Galadriel's dagger. No need to separate out those metals. Not when you've got experts. Just chuck the whole thing in the pot. Add in some me-thrilling baby, you got a stew going. But uh-oh, Elrond remembers the random scroll that Galadriel left in the water. He races back to the workshop to ask Galadriel why some family tree was in the water. But he's too late. The super awesome rings of plastic have been completed. The showrunners couldn't decide which would be more epic to zoom in or to zoom out. So they went with both. And lastly, kicked out of the nice elf city for trying to rise above his station. Poor refugee Halbrand is headed back to the Southlands to try to make the best of it. And that's the end of season one. I have so many questions that I need answered immediately. Like what happened with the Southlanders? How are they doing? Did a seal door sister, like the king's man cave, will Nori realize that going off with the perfect stranger and leaving her family behind is not a good idea? Will the scrappy Halbrand and Adar join forces to rise up against the authoritative and oppressive power of the elves? Will Galadriel remember that she has a husband and that she should go look for him?  Will Disa learn the secret of mixing me-thrill with metal and create rings of plastic for herself so she can rule them all? There are just endless possibilities for where the show could go in season two. And I, for one, am itching to find out what happens next. Let me know in the comments down below how you felt about season one. If you are also dying to know what happens next, let me know your predictions for what will happen. Whatever you want to let me know. I post videos on Saturdays. Other random times will open up on Saturdays, so like and subscribe. Join my Patreon if you feel so inclined and I'll see you when I see you. Bye.


So, good morning everyone, welcome back to the NPTEL lecture series on classics in total synthesis part 1. So, today we will continue our discussion on total synthesis of terpenoids and we will focus on two total synthesis of one complex natural product called gibberlich acid. So, this gibberlich acid as you can see here it is quite complex, it has about 5 rings and several chiral centers and this plant hormone belonging to called gibberlings and it was produced by plants and from synthetic point of view when you look at this molecule it poses several challenges. It has 8 stereocenters you can see here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that means all the 5 carbons of the middle 5 membered ring are chiral centers okay then you have one here 6, 7, 8 okay so there are 8 chiral centers in this molecule and more importantly it is not only the chiral centers 8 chiral centers which can create trouble as such this molecule is very sensitive towards acids and bases okay. So, that is another reason why synthesis of this molecule created lot of challenges to the chemist. Nevertheless the first total synthesis of gibberlich acid was reported by another than Nobel laureate E.J. Coray and his synthesis involved deal salt reaction, intramolecular deal salt reaction, iodolactonization, epoxylactonization and radical circulation. So, these are the key reactions which Coray has successfully used in the synthesis of gibberlich acid. So, let us see this retrosynthesis this idea was this particular lactone okay this particular lactone can be made from this intermediate using iodolactonization as the key reaction okay using iodolactonization as the key reaction. You have a carboxylic acid here okay and you have a double bond so one can easily plan iodolactonization I will come to that what is iodolactonization in a couple of minutes. Then he thought these two hydroxyl groups okay can be introduced with the help of double bond. If you have a double bond here then one should be able to introduce two hydroxyl groups which are anti to each other okay and also you can hydrolyze this lactone and oxidize you will get this dicharboxylic acid okay. So, he thought this could be made from this particular intermediate okay now if you look at this intermediate his idea was to use an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction okay. So, you can see a diene here and a diene of 5 the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction 4 plus 2 and you also can see the chloride here is not it that can undergo elimination okay to generate one more double bond this double bond okay one more double bond this double bond can be generated after the Diels-Alder reaction followed by elimination okay. Now this can be obtained from the corresponding alcohol okay. So, this is the key intermediate this is the key intermediate in the synthesis of Zeppel like acid proposed by E.J. Kori how this key intermediate can be made when you have a double bond here one can think of using a Wittig reaction is not it. So, by methyl Wittig it should be possible to homologate this Aldehyde to the vinyl group now you have an alpha beta unsaturated Aldehyde okay wherever you see an alpha beta unsaturated Aldehyde one reaction we should come to our mind is Aldehyde reaction okay. So, that means if you have di Aldehyde basically if you have a di Aldehyde like this then this can undergo an Aldehyde followed by dehydration you should get this alpha beta unsaturated Aldehyde. But how do you get this 1, 5 di Aldehyde you can do a cleavage of the double bond you can do a dihyde deoxylation followed by cleavage with sodium paravidate one can get the corresponding 1, 4 di Aldehyde. Next when you look at this molecule carefully you have this bicyclic 3, 2, 1 system bicyclic 3, 2, 1 system and this we wanted to cyclize okay this is through the keto Aldehyde okay one can cyclize to get the corresponding alpha hydroxyl ketone okay then closer look at this molecule one can see cyclohexene one can see cyclohexene when you see cyclohexene in any compound obviously 4 plus 2 cyclohexene reaction should come to your mind is not it. So you thought you can use an intermolecular 4 plus 2 cyclohexene to get that intermediate okay this is a known compound and this you thought you can prepare from this O Allyl that is 2 ortho O Allyl anisol which can be prepared from Coacol which is commercially available okay. So this is the first retrosynthesis and you also propose another route for the key synthesis of the key intermediate A and that you thought you can make it from intermediate B by 2 alkylation okay one alkylation will lead to the CH2OH the other alkylation will give an aldehyde which can be homologated. So this ketone can be obtained by a radical like reaction here and hydroboration and oxidation regioselective hydroboration and oxidation should generate the keto and this double bond you can see here this could be obtained by a 3-3 sigmatropic rearrangement okay I will come to that when I talk about the real synthesis and this intermediate can be obtained by an intermolecular DL sol reaction okay by an intermolecular DL sol reaction you can see if you cleave this this is the diene of fire and this is the diene okay that diene can be obtained from cycloventa diene. So these are the two pathways Coray had proposed to synthesize jibbellic acid and let us see how he executed the total synthesis of jibbellic acid. Before that as I said this synthesis as well as the next synthesis of jibbellic acid by MRO both involve iodolactinization as the key step. So what is iodolactinization? So if you have a carboxylic acid if you have a carboxylic acid and a double bond in the same molecule at appropriate place okay then when you treat with iodine the double bond first it will form the corresponding iodonium ion okay. Now if you can deprotonate this hydrogen of carboxylic acid using mild bases like sodium bicarbonate okay then the COO- which form immediately can open this to give iodolactin. Obviously the 5-ambered lactone is preferred okay and this goes through what we call it as 5-exotec cyclization okay. This is another example you can see there are two double bonds one here and one here and if it cyclizes here it will form a 5-ambered ring and if it cyclizes this side it will form 4-ambered ring okay. So obviously 5-ambered is more favored so you get 5-ambered iodolactone likewise one can also do if you have epoxy see for example the same thing if you use MCPBA and base like sodium bicarbonate. What will MCPBA do? MCPBA will epoxidize the double bond then sodium bicarbonate will generate carboxylate that can open up okay you can get intermediate like this okay that will open up and you will get a 5-ambered lactone with CH2OH okay. So iodolactinization you can do epoxy lactonization you can do in fact one can also use phenyl selenyl chloride if you use phenyl selenyl chloride you can call this as phenyl selenolactonization all are possible okay. What you need is a double bond and carboxylic acid which are separated by two carbons okay so that you can get a 5-ambered ring. Now let us see how he synthesized the tricyclic intermediate. So he started with glyacol so that is this compound okay OIME and OH and one can use sodium hydroxide and allyl bromide you allylate the free phenolic hydroxyl then you heat it so you heat it at 230 degree Celsius it undergoes glycentry arrangement okay as you know allyl phenyl ethers undergo glycentry arrangement to give the corresponding allyl migrated product okay.  Now you can protect that hydroxyl as benzyl so you deprotonate that hydroxyl group with sodium hydride and quench with benzyl bromide you get the corresponding benzyl ether then comes the removal of mem group so that you can do with trifluoresetic acid and followed by oxidation of this phenol to the benzoquinol okay. So that can be done with this catalyst so oxygen as the oxidizing agent and with this cobalt catalyst one can oxidize this phenol to corresponding benzoquinol okay. Once you have this then you do the dielsol reaction so this is a known compound that is a diene and this substituted benzoquinol is a dienophile and then do the dielsol reaction you get the corresponding bicyclic compound okay. So now how many chiral centers are fixed of course it is resemic so 1, 2, 3, 3 stereo centers are fixed then protect the free hydroxyl group as THB ether. So dihydropyrin and treat with para toluene sulphonic acid you protect the primary hydroxyl as THB ether. Now before we move further I will just briefly explain how the dielsol reaction gave these 3 stereo centers okay, stereo selectively okay. So this is the transformation and as you know dielsol reaction gives mainly the kinetic endo product as a major product. So you can draw like this transition states you can see in this case you keep the diene like this and the dienophile comes from the bottom and this double bond is below the diene. If it is away then it is XO this is below so that is why you get the endo product because of the secondary orbital interaction. Now after the dielsol reaction can you draw this structure just to connect these 2 bonds okay and here also between these 2 double bonds okay that is double bond A and double bond B only double bond A acts as dienophile and double bond B does not because the double bond A is more electron deficient than double bond B okay the double bond A is more electron deficient than double bond B because of the presence of electron donating methoxy group okay. So this can be rewritten like this okay I will keep it for 30 seconds so that you know you should be able to draw the conformation properly so that you will arrive at this particular structure okay. So it is like this now if you do it then you will know this will be beta and this hydrogen also will be beta so both are similar and here this hydrogen you can see that also will be beta that means this CH2OH will be alpha okay done. Now you have made the bicyclic count so what is next you have to reduce these 2 and before that you have to protect the primary hydroxyl so as I said the primary hydroxyl group was protected as THP ether by treating with dihydropyrin and PPTS. Then you can reduce this ketone selectively over the other ketone because of the presence of lone pair of methoxy group this carbonyl is more electrophilic so that it can attract hydride faster than the other carbonyl so one can easily reduce and also the structure is like this isn't it so the hydride will come from the top that will lead to alpha alcohol okay. Then protect the alcohol as methoxy methyl chloride that is CH3 OH CH2Cl then reduce the enome at low temperature that is alpha beta and ketone so reduce that at low temperature to get the corresponding allylic alcohol.  Then sodium bicarbonate you know it is a good living group so you can use this lone pair on the methoxy group to eliminate that and in the process what you get is corresponding enome okay so this could have been easily done on the alcohol with acid but as you know this THP and MOM both protecting groups are sensitive to acid that is why he has to convert that allylic alcohol to missile it and then use sodium bicarbonate that is base mediated hydrolysis to get the corresponding cyclohexene. Then you have isolated double bond then conjugated double bond conjugated double bond is selectively reduced under rhodium catalyzed condition. Now if you use lithium and ammonia okay so lithium ammonia is known to remove benzyl group okay so the benzyl group is removed but at the same time you have a ketone also isn't it when you have ketone lithium ammonia also will donate electron to the carbonyl group so as a result the carbonyl group will become ketyl radical okay then that will eliminate this OM group and you will form enolate you will form an enolate that will become ketone then that ketone also will be further reduced so what lithium ammonia does here is 3 things one it removes the benzyl group you get the corresponding OH then it adds one electron to the ketone first so that removes the MOM group and in the process it forms enolate and enolate becomes ketone and then ketone is further reduced to corresponding hydroxyl group and oxidation of the diol with chromium trioxide pyridine you get the corresponding keto aldehyde okay. Now you carry out this McMory coupling so the McMory coupling on this keto aldehyde gives the third phymometry which is phymometry okay now this is tertiary alcohol this is secondary alcohol okay so secondary alcohol is oxidized under modified swan condition to get the alpha hydroxy ketone and again this bridge head hydroxyl was protected as mem ether okay so now this whole side is taken care so what we need is modification on the left hand side okay. So you have a double bond if you treat with asthmatic peroxide in the presence of stoichiometric amount of NmO you get a diol and that diol if you cleave with let it acetate you get the diol degree okay so as we have noticed in that transition this is so this is one of the key precursor for making the key intermediate A so once you have this then one can carry out an intramolecular aldol reaction with bases like dibenzyl ammonium trifluoro acetate so that gives the corresponding alpha beta unsaturated aldehyde. So once you have that alpha beta unsaturated aldehyde simple vitic reaction will give the corresponding double bond so now you have the diene which is ready for undergoing intramolecular diol salt reaction okay. So what we need is you need to remove this protecting group and attach the dienophile for the intramolecular diol salt reaction okay once you have the THP ether treat with acetic acid you remove the THP and you get the key intermediate A. The same intermediate is prepared by two more methods the second method is started with four benzyloxy cyclohexanone four benzyloxy cyclohexanone then that is worth Iman's modification so he did this vitic modified reaction he got the alpha beta unsaturated ketone and then vinyl 1, 4 addition to this enone you get gamma delta unsaturated ketone the same thing one can also think about using a Klaisen rearrangement to get gamma delta unsaturated ketone or aldehydes we will come to that when we talk about Klaisen rearrangement then the double bond is cleave double bond is cleave with osmium tetroxide and sodium perovideate so this upon aldol reaction this upon aldol reaction you can see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so it will form a 5 umber ring okay so now you have a spiral system okay 6 umbered 5 umbered both are fused through spiral fusion then one can think about adding a 2 carbon unit so that is what he did a vinyl magnesium bromide along with cupra psiodate it underwent a 1, 4 addition and then with triethyl orthoformate and ethylene glycol he protected the ketone as the ketol then he did a selective hydroboration okay on the double bond to get the primary alcohol that alcohol was mesylated to get the primary mesylate so now what he needs is you have to remove the benzyl group oxidize the alcohol to ketone then connect this okay so the benzyl group was hydrogenalysif to get the alcohol okay then PCC oxidation gave the ketone then treat with potassium terributoxide to give the corresponding tricyclic compound if you look at this tricyclic compound you will see there is 1 carbon extra okay what you need is what you need is this isn't it so this particular ring instead of 2 carbons you have 3 carbons am I correct instead of 2 carbons we have 3 carbons so the 2 carbons how you can get it from 3 carbons so you do treat with methyl lithium then dehydrate to get the corresponding alkene okay then what you will do you can do a O's analysis to get the corresponding ketone okay now if you treat with base there are 2 places it can generate anion one here another one here if this adds here you will get the 5 ombre ring whereas if B adds it will give 7 ombre ring okay but with sodium hydroxide and ethanol one could get predominantly the 5 ombre ring and once you have this aldol okay then you can carry out a Bayer-Villegar oxidation okay so the Bayer-Villegar oxidation can see the acetyl group COCA3 will become OAC okay then hydrolysis of OAC will give the bridged hydroxyl and oxidation under one condition to get the ketone and remove the ketol okay before that of course you have to protect the bridged hydroxyl as memmeter then do the vitic on the ketone and remove the ketol you get tricyclic intermediate D which has already been converted into intermediate A okay so how did you do that now if you treat with sodium hydroxide and quench with ethyl formates you can introduce an aldehyde on this side okay now this on treatment with potassium tertiary butoxide and methyl iodide so this is 1 3 carbonyl isn't it this is 1 3 carbonyl so it will exist in the corresponding enol so that enol become the enol methyl ether when you treat with potassium tertiary butoxide and methyl iodide okay then you introduce another aldehyde on the other side of the carbonate okay again you follow the same route sodium iodide ethyl formate introduce aldehyde on the other side now you have to reduce this ketone and as well as this aldehyde so this is done with redol so what is redol redol is sodium sodium bis okay there are two sodium bis metoxy etoxy aluminum hydrate metoxy etoxy aluminum hydrate so that reduces both ketone and aldehyde to get the diol now if you treat with acid so what will happen this will become protonation will take place at this voltage it will become H2O plus then this lone pair will push this double bond here and in the end what you get is alpha beta unsaturated aldehyde which upon vitic you will get the corresponding triene okay then the third route which is supposed to be the shortest route and here you use Diels-All reaction and 3 3 sigmatropic rearrangement as the key reaction for the Diels-All reaction the diene was prepared in a single step so butyl lithium treatment gives cyclopenta dienyl anion and quench with 2 bromo allyl bromide followed by DBU treatment gives a mixture of these two isomers gives a mixture of these two isomers this upon treatment with this dienophile okay between these two electron withdrawing group one is acetyl and other one is ester which is more electron withdrawing acetyl or ester acetyl group so that means the acetyl group will go to end opposition okay so this upon Diels-All reaction with this particular diene gives the Diels-All product 53% then there is another product very interesting product in 20% so what is this product how it was formed this again was formed by Diels-All reaction only difference is here this is formed by normal Diels-All reaction and this is formed by hetero Diels-All reaction so what is hetero Diels-All reaction now the dienophile okay the dienophile acted like a diene okay the dienophile acted like a diene since one of the alkene is a carbonyl group you can call this as hetero diene okay hetero diene and your original diene now acted as dienophile okay so that intermolecular hetero Diels-All reaction gave B in 20% yield so the major product which is obtained by normal 4 plus 2 cycloaddition this upon treatment with TMSO tripleton base formed enol TMSC3 this molecule when you look at it you can see I have given already the number 1 2 3 1 2 3 so that means this can undergo a 3 3 sigmatropic rearrangement okay this will undergo a 3 3 sigmatropic rearrangement to give this interval I leave this for few seconds so that you can visualize okay the same intermediate can be redrawn like this the same intermediate can be redrawn like this okay this is the 5 1 but ring and you can see the 5 1 but ring and this is a 6 1 but ring and you see the 6 1 but ring okay and you have the 2 bromalyl group so that we have and you have CH2 next CH2 then enol TMS then ester ester okay so this undergoes a 3 3 sigmatropic rearrangement to give this material okay now if you do sodium chloride DMSO what happens this is nothing but a protected form of beta keto ester protected form of beta keto ester okay so the beta keto ester can undergo elimination under sodium chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide reflex incantation okay so that gave corresponding ketone then one can use 9 BBN so that regioselective hydromeration can take place to get alcohol and that can be oxidized with PDC to get a di ketone then you carry out a dibutyl copper reaction so it exchanges with this and undergoes intramolecular nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl to form the 5 1 but ring now if you protect the hydroxyl group as memmether so that gives the intermediate P okay so what I will do I will stop here now then tomorrow I will continue our discussion on the total synthesis of gibralic acid reported by Coray starting from the intermediate A how he accomplished the total synthesis of gibralic acid and I also will discuss one more total synthesis of gibralic acid reported by amada okay so thank you


As promised, this is going to be an update on my Olay eye treatment. So if you're interested to find out what am I thinking after a little over a month of using the UK version as opposed to using the US version since February 14th, 2018, stay tuned. I have to begin, I think, with a little bit of my journey. I'm going to insert some photos because I'm a work in progress and I am far, far from where I want to be, but I'm okay where I'm at. And I think the biggest difference, and I was going to ask this, the biggest difference in my skin care routine was adding Retin-A, was adding derma rolling and using an eyelash serum. Those of you that have been following my journey, you know that I started out using Careprost. I grew some amazing eyelashes. Look at my before picture. So you can see the progress in my eyelashes. I'm now using a product called Blink, which I'm absolutely loving. So I've been on an eyelash journey for a long time and also on a skin care journey. If you take a look at some of my earlier 2016 photos that I'm going to include here is before I started Retin-A, before I started Careprost, before I started any major skin care rather than, you know, washing my face and putting cream on. But you can see I think some of the progress. So as I progressed to using this in early 2018, I started on my birthday, February 14th, to see if I could tackle the deeper lines on my eyes at that time. And I'll insert some before pictures, but I have to caution you a lot of my photos that I took were basically looking at my eyelashes. They weren't really looking at my wrinkles. So my before pictures are not all that great. I tried to use natural lighting in all of the photos. So that, you know, so that a ring light, which is lighting me up really nice here and balancing the back light as well as the front light so that you can actually see me. So in these photos, I've used natural light as much as possible, but a cautionary. They're not exact poses at all. They're not the exact same time and day. They're not, you know, any kind of like super exact type of a sudden. I basically did it to sort of follow my progress without really thinking about, wow, am I going to have a difference? You know, how am I going to show this to the world? I just did it basically for myself. So you can see some of my before pictures and you can follow the progress. So when I started this in February, I had been using Retin-A for quite a while. I'm going on my two year anniversary of Retin-A.  But at that point in time, I've been using Retin-A for quite a while and I've been using the Retin-A around my eyes. And I've been having, I've never really went up close to my deep wrinkles here because I was a little nervous and I always have peeling. So I was always having a little bit of reactions and I didn't want to do that. So when this came out and I read about it and I thought, well, this might be a good thing. And I started to use it a dab into my deep wrinkles. And then a couple of other ladies talked about it and how great it was, what a miracle it was. And I realized they were talking about the UK version rather than the US version. The ingredients, while some of them are the same or in a different order, maybe varying strengths, basically on the standards that they have. So I got this sent to me from Gale from Random Life Productions and I started to use this in mid-May on my face, on my eyes. What I did is I used the US version on one side, the UK version on the other side. And so many of you have been asking me, well, how's it going? How's it going? What do you think? What do you think? And I keep saying it's too soon. It's too soon. Now I know the ladies that have been using this say it's almost like a miracle they've seen overnight. I have said all along when I started to use this, all along, that after I started to see a difference in this, I felt that there was a softening, maybe even a blurring of some of my deeper wrinkles. They didn't go away. And when I started to use this, I used this on the side of my face that is the heaviest expose where I had the deepest wrinkle. My driving side, you know, I've always, I mean, I put it on that same side all the time. And here is some photos that you can see when I started using this. You can see the difference between the two if there is any. And you can watch these photos right up to last week. Today is Father's Day. When I'm filming this is probably go live sometime next week. I'm not too sure. But you can judge for yourself if you think there's a difference between the two products. My feeling is I think when I started to use this and I started to see that there was a blurring of my wrinkles, I thought it was wonderful. And I bought a second tube of it because I was really excited that I could start to see a slight blurring. When I started to use this, the blurring to me on this one eye, which was my worst eye, the blurring factor was more so than this. So I do think there is a difference between these two products. I think this one works slightly better, slightly better, at least on my worst, the eye that was the worst, than this one. But I'm loving this one. You can be the judge. I'm going to run the photos again so you can see them. You can decide for yourself. I mean, this, if you're not getting it on sale, you can get it at Walgreens. Sometimes they have really good sales by one full price.  If you go on online, you can use Ebates. You can use Cubons. There's also the different options. This you have to get from someone who's willing to send it to you. It's going to cost you a little bit more because you're going to have to pay shipping unless you happen to have someone that's visiting the UK, which I do right now and I'm hoping they bring me back some. But anyways, I will tell you that I'm liking this. Has it been a miracle? No. Has it been a dramatic improvement? No. Has there been an improvement? Yes. And I don't know if it's mostly this because I started with both eyes using this. I don't know if it's a combination of my retinae that I've been using all along. But there's been an improvement in my eyes and I'm liking that. So I'm going to continue this. Like my retinae use. I, three months into it, I didn't notice anything. I started to notice stuff when I was hitting six months, nine months. And then I was like, oh wow. And the same thing with my derma rolling. I didn't notice anything right away other than it was sore, red and all that. It took a while. And my care pros, when I started the eyelash serum, that all took a while too. So I'm willing to give this a try. That's all I can tell you. Whether it's for you or not, it's going to be up to you. Whether you think there's a difference in my photos will be up to you. Of course, if you look at my pre-retinae photos, my skin is completely different. That's going to be another video. I'm super, super excited. I can't wait to share all that with you. But I'm going to continue on with this. This is not sponsored. I bought these products. I'm going to continue on with it. So that's about it for my update. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure you like the video. Leave me a comment. Have you tried this? What do you think? I do know it may not be for everyone. So whatever skin care you're using or doing, you should always check it out very carefully to make sure it's something that is going to be good for you. If you have any reactions, stop using it. If you have any questions, talk to your dermatologist. Talk to someone who really knows. I'm not that expert. I'm just on this journey and sharing it with you. Thanks so much, guys. Bye-bye.


Now, former president Olu Shigou Abbasan Joe has charged leaders at all levels to embrace democracy that promote prosperity, poverty eradication, employment and inadequate security for the betterment of Nigeria. Abbasan Joe gave the charge in our state during the inauguration of the rehabilitated 34.8 kilometers of your Isengi Road project. According to the former president, a democracy that nurtured poverty, unemployment and insecurity should be thrown overboard because it only characterized backwardness. He emphasized the importance of cultivating specific crops that would distinguish Olu from others, noting that the state had been known as a cassava, farm and center. Education, popular education for every citizen to be able to have basic education, fundamental nine years without any reduction and then higher education, quality education, science and technology, artificial intelligence, all those things that we must be able to have to be able to be counted among.
