Behind the Paper: Improving Diversity in Biotech
Morehouse School of Medicine introduced its Bridges to Biotechnology & Bioentrepreneurship summer 5-week pipeline online program, built to expose underrepresented students to Biotechnology. This blog is a preview of some of the information you will find in the article posted Nov. 10.
Hydroxylamine-Mediated C-C Amination via an Aza-Hock Rearrangement
We report the aza-Hock rearrangement of benzyl alcohols with arylsulfonyl hydroxylamines (ArSO2ONHR) in fluorinated alcohols (HFIP or TFE), delivering anilines in good to excellent yields.
Developing a hybrid process for the production of olefins from glucose using cellular and heterogeneous catalysis
In a collaboration with Paul Dauenhauer's group at the University of Minnesota through the NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers, we have developed a new strategy to deoxygenate hydrocarbons produced by microbial fermentation of glucose using simple Lewis acid catalysis.
