Summer 2002
The Summer of 2002 saw two students, Joe Heinzelmann and Craig Streu working on the synthesis of a new chiral hypervalent reagent. While they were unsuccessful at completing this synthesis due to the unavailability of a reagent (post 9-11) the … Continue reading
Summer 2001
The Summer of 2001 saw Amanda Boye, ’02, travel to the University of Cardiff, in Wales, to work with the Wirth Group (Thomas Wirth had accepted a position there in the fall of 2000). She worked on lactonization reactions with … Continue reading
