Egon Spengler Venkman hadn't stopped him. Due to the large amount of collateral damage the city of New York suffered from the battle with Gozer, the Ghostbusters were sued by nearly every county and city agency in New York. Additionally a judicial restraining order was enacted which barred the Ghostbusters from performing services as paranormal investigators and eliminators, effectively putting them out of business. Five years after the events of the first film Egon was working at the Institute for Advanced Theoretical Research and was conducting experiments on human emotions. A negative test involved keeping a couple with marriage problems locked in
Pictet–Spengler reaction imine generated from the condensation of the aldehyde and amine. This helps to explain the need for an acidic medium in some substrates, as the imine may not be electrophilic enough for ring closure to occur but the Iminium ion is capable of undergoing the reaction. The Pictet-Spengler reaction is widespread in both human industry and biosynthesis. It has remained an important reaction in the fields of alkaloid and pharmaceutical synthesis since its inception, where it has been employed in the development of many beta-carbolines. The enzyme strictosidine synthase is an example of nature utilizing the Pictet-Spengler reaction, which generates
