Chemistry Awarded Lectureship Sponsored by Organic Syntheses, Inc.
The objective of the publication, Organic Syntheses, Inc., is to sponsor highly talented and innovative research seminars in organic chemistry. The first of these lectures at Boston University will be on April 13 and will be given by Professor Tehshik Yoon, University of Wisconsin at Madison. Prof. Yoon is investigating how transition metal catalysts modulate the reactivity of oxaziridines in a variety of oxidation reactions, as well as looking at reactions that do not lead to an overall change in the oxidation state of the substrate but which are initiated by one-electron redox processes. His talk will be entitled “New Strategies for Redox Catalysis in Organic Synthesis.”
