When you say "open notebook" does that mean outside people can see your results and contribute intellectually to the project? Is there a synthetic route to 9DS? I didn't see much on a quick google search but it doesn't look like a terribly difficult molecule to make.
see our results, definitely (I'll be working on some software to get this to work, but our fallback is to just use mediawiki). Contribute intellectually - we should have some sort of commenting system.
9DS is probably synthetically tractable, but attachment of the sugar typically uses chemistry that destroys the imine on the other side, and vice versa. So that kicks any industrial processes in the knees.
