1, 3-Dioxepin
(Kalamazoo College, 1976)Dioxygenated 1, 3-butadienes are of considerable interest as the diene components in stereoselective syntheses involving the Diels-Alder reaction. Available dienes include trans 1-methoxy-3-t rimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene, ... -
The 2007 M/V Cosco Busan Oil Spill: A Study Comparing the Fate and Weathering of the Spilled Oil from Angel Island, CA
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Heavy fuel oil from the 2007 M/V Cosco Busan oil spill on November 7, 2007 contaminated 26 miles of shoreline throughout the San Francisco Bay area. Past studies on heavy fuel have focused on those components detectable ... -
2010 Chemistry SIP Symposium Schedule
(Kalamazoo College, 2010-02-15)Chemistry Winter SIP Symposium Schedule, February 19-20, 2010, and Chemistry Spring SIP Symposium Schedule, April 16-17, 2010 -
Ab Initio Calculation of Some Parent Quinone Structures
(Kalamazoo College, 1983)There has been considerable biological interest through the last few years in the chemical nature of semiquinones. Semiquinones are alicyclic compounds with conjugated bond systems provided by two double bonds in a six ... -
Ab Initio Investigation of Internal Torsional Barriers in Substituted Terphenyls
(Kalamazoo College, 2022-06-01)Ab initio electronic structure methods use solutions to quantum mechanical calculations to model and predict properties of molecular systems. This study uses transition state theory (TST) to investigate multiple phenyl ... -
Ab Initio Quantum Mechanical Ground State Characterization of Free Base and N-protonated Guanfacine
(Kalamazoo College, 1985)The objective of this project was to obtain geometric and electronic characterization of free-base and N-protonated quanfacine molecules at their ground state. The following paragraph summarizes the reasons for interest ... -
An AB Initio Study of Some Nitrogen-Containing Molecules
(Kalamazoo College, 1974)An AB 1nitio procedure which involves first the optimization of the nonlinear parameters of a set of floating spher1cal gaussian orbitals in molecular fragments 1s described. These fragments and their associated ... -
Abnormal Hemoglobin : Methods of Detection
(Kalamazoo College, 1983)My Senior Individualized Project involved research in the area of hemoglobinpathologies in the laboratory of Dr. Donald Rucknagel, Department of Human Genetics of the University of Michigan Medical School. My assignment ... -
Absorption Characteristics of U-63,287 as Evaluated by In Situ Rat Gut Perfusion
(Kalamazoo College, 1984)Bioavailability refers to the overall rate and extent to which the active form of a drug enters the general circulation after oral administration. Bioavailability has been found to depend on many factors, among them the ... -
Acid Hydration of Hop Oil: A Preliminary Study
(Kalamazoo College, 1995)The essential oil of hops is a major flavor component in beer. It is primarily made up of the terpenes myrcene, p-caryophyllene, and humulene. The goal of this project was to find a set of reaction conditions that would ... -
Activity Assay and Methods for Purification of an Uptake Hydrogenase from Frankia strain ArI-5
(1996)The nitrogen-fixing actinomycete Frankia contains an uptake hydrogenase which greatly improves the overall efficiency of the nitrogenase complex. The function of the enzyme is to catalyze the uptake and oxidation of molecular ... -
Activity of Hepatic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase and Pyruvate Carboxylase in Malnourished California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus)
(Kalamazoo College, 2012)Under conditions of starvation or caloric restriction, gluconeogenesis produces the majority of glucose within mammalian cells. While starvation has been shown to stimulate gluconeogenesis in a variety of species, many ... -
Acylation and Alkylation Reactions of 5-(2, 6-Dialkylphrenyl) Amino-1, 2, 3, 4-Thiatriazoles
(Kalamazoo College, 1980)This project explored the steric effect of methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl groups in the two and six positions of the anilino ring on the site of acyl or alkyl group attack. It was hypothesized, that by hindering the 5-amino ... -
Advances in Organocopper Chemistry : A New Mixed Cuprate Reagent
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)This paper describes the preparation and reactions of two bis-cuprate reagents of the form: Li(PhS)Cu(CH2)nCu(PhS) Li, n = 4,5. These reagents were prepared from the corresponding dilithioalkanes and have been shown to ... -
AKT2 Skeletal Muscle DNA Methylation and Levels in Atypical Antipsychotic-Induced Insulin Resistance
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) are an effective drug in treating mental illness, however studies have shown that a correlation exists between AAPs and the onset of physiological diseases such as diabetes. It has been ... -
Alkenyl Ditriflates and Diiodides: Conjugated, Non-Conjugated, and Cross-Conjugated
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)Theoretical studies of electrical conductivity in organic compounds suggests that conjugation of approximately one hundred alkenes will make an organic compound a super-conducting material. While a material with such ... -
Alkylation of 3,5-Dimethylpyrrole-2,4-Dicarboxylic Acid 2-Ethyl 4-Methyl Diester and Its Relatives
(Kalamazoo College, 1973)In order to improve the herbicidal activity of 3,5-dimethylpyrrole dicarboxylic acid 2-ethyl-4-methyl ester, a slow acting but effective herbicide, the pyrrole was N-acylated or alkylated. In reactions of the sodium ... -
Alkylation of Esters and Ketones with Nitroethylene
(1999)Nitroethylene is a potentially useful "+CH2CH2NH2" synthon that has not been widely used in conjugate addition reactions, due in part to its reputation for facile anionic polymerization. This paper reports a systematic ... -
Alkylation of Ketone and Ester Enolates by Nitroethylene
(1997)The successful Michael addition ofnitroethylene to various lithium ester and ketone enolates is reported. Higher and more easily purified yields are reported for the adducts of ester enolates than for the adducts of ketone ...
