- Md. Toufiqur Rahman (Cook Group):
- Part I “Shorter and Improved Access to the Key Tetracyclic Core of C-19 Methyl Substituted Bioactive Sarpagine-Macroline-Ajmaline Indole Alkaloids via a New Ambidextrous Asymmetric Pictet-Spengler Reaction Beginning from Either D-(+)- or L-(-)-Tryptophan”
- Part II “The Total Synthesis of a Number of Bioactive C-19 Methyl Substituted Macroline-Sarpagine Indole Alkaloids including Macrocarpines A-G, Talcarpine, N(4)-Methyl-N(4), 21-Secotalpinine, Deoxyperaksine, Dihydroperaksine, Talpinine, O-Acetyltalpinine, As Well As N(4)-Methyltal-Pinine”
- Toufiqur will be joining The Research Triangle Institute (RTI International, Durham, NC) as a Post-Doctoral Fellow-Scientist in January.
Master’s
- Kelly Pauly (Arnold Group): “Proposal to Validate Groups Of Materials, Rather Than Individual Material, For USP <233> elemental Impurities Analysis By ICP -MS”
