As a young graduate student circa 1990, sitting in the seminar room of Evans Hall in the Department of Chemistry at Ohio State, I had the transformative experience of a Prof. Fraser-Reid seminar…
Oligosaccharides plays fundamentally important role in the chemistry of life. This can easily be seen in how cellulose and starch are a critical part in the structure of our cells and a source for energy. The complexity of the carbohydrate monomers (_i.e…
As part of chemistry’s never-ending desire to mimic the elegance of nature, organic chemists have pursued novel methods for the synthesis of natural products…
