I work at a place with lots of immigrants, and those two languages are common in my area.

My bosses are a joke, completely up their own asses and take the job so seriously you would think it is their own company.

What are some phrases in each language that say things like "the bosses are a joke" " they take themselves too seriously" "they think they are so important" but also things like "work safely/safety is most important"

Some pronunciation would be appreciated too.

I just want to relate to these people in a shitty job.

I'm sure it's due to my weak knowledge of chemistry, but I'm confused on what solvents can be used for the amination of a halo ketone, say 2 bromo propiophenone and similar compounds.

I've seen polar aprotic solvents like ethyl acetate be used, dcm, etc, but then I saw a write up on erowid about using benzene, which iirc is a nonpolar apeotic solvent, during an amination of 2 bromo propiophenone. It was actually the solvent used to bromine propiophenone, and then they threw in some water, methylamine chloride and sodium hydroxide.

My questions are "What solvents can be used?" Is the aprotic part the most important? Would a PTC be needed or help yield?"

I was thinking about an otc solvent mix, which is mostly xylene, some ethyl benzene, and dash of cumene iirc.

Just trying to figure out what can be used.
