Ok, so I take the risk of making the fool of myself, but whatever they had in mind, they botched the formula on this one, didn't they? When I answered myself, I did not pay attention to the number of carbon atoms, but now when I see it, I can't just make out you can hang that many hydrogen and nitrogen atoms on that few carbon atoms. But we'll see when Mark posts the answer. |

I've never Ns jumping into a benzene ring like that. Or you are just pulling my legs and I am actually looking at the logo for a group of acrobats. :-) |
