Benzylamine

(

)

~~... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn as a treatment for motion sickness for the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission?~~

ALT1:... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn as a motion sickness treatment for the mission in which he became the first American to orbit the Earth?
ALT2:... that benzylamine is used to manufacture the nitroamine high explosive hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane?

5x expanded by EdChem (talk). Self-nominated at 13:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC).

John Glenn wearing the space suit he wore for the Mercury mission

Prefer original hook or ALT1, but offering ALT2 as another option. EdChem (talk) 02:36, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Note that original hook or ALT1 could be accompanied by an image of John Glenn, and ALT2 could have the hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane structure. For example:

Ball-and-stick model of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW)

ALT1a:... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn (pictured) as a motion sickness treatment for the mission in which he became the first American to orbit the Earth?

Structural formula of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW)

ALT2a:... that benzylamine is used to manufacture the nitroamine high explosive hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (pictured left - ball and stick model)?

ALT2b:... that benzylamine is used to manufacture the nitroamine high explosive hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (pictured left - structural formula)?

@EdChem: This brings me back home! The article has been expanded 5x; however, there is no QPQ nor is the hook about hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane cited. I like the ball and stick models better then the wire models, but that is just me. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 06:14, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Also, Gen was not a senator at the time that he was given the compound. It would be best to use the picture of him in the mercury space suit or his NASA picture. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 06:18, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Guerillero: I have added a cross-ref on the HNIW synthesis, as requested. I concur that the ball and stick model is a better image if an HNIW hook is used. An alternative image is fine with me for Glenn (and I have made the change). QPQ will follow shortly. EdChem (talk) 06:29, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
@Guerillero: QPQ now added. EdChem (talk) 08:00, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Please note that only images that are free and appear in the article can be used for DYK. At the moment, none of the images shown in this nomination are in the article, so they cannot be used. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:41, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Ball-and-stick model of HNIW

@BlueMoonset: Thanks. I have added the Glenn and ball-and stick images to the benzylamine article. The structural formula is present within the HNIW synthesis image, FYI - not sure if that complies - but in any case I prefer the ball-and-stick image if a HNIW hook is chosen. To clarify, I am posting the two options here with standard use of "(pictured)" in the hook and image positions and all the above ALTs are struck.

ALT3:... that benzylamine is used to manufacture the nitroamine high explosive hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW, pictured)?

The structural formula of HNIW is an alternative image option (File:CL-20.svg) for ALT3.

Providing three wordings for the Glenn hook, including the original.

ALT4:... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn (pictured) as a motion sickness treatment for the mission in which he became the first American to orbit the Earth?
ALT4a:... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn (pictured) as a motion sickness treatment for his mission as the first American to orbit the Earth?
ALT4b:... that the hydrochloride salt of benzylamine was given to NASA astronaut John Glenn (pictured) as a treatment for motion sickness for the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission?

- Everything looks good; I would go with 4b --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
