After the April 2010 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, and subsequent release of millions of barrels of oil, two Corexit oil dispersant formulations were used in unprecedented quantities both on the surface and sub-surface of the Gulf of Mexico. Although the dispersant formulations contain four classes of surfactants,...

Lycopodium alkaloids have shown widespread and noteworthy biological activity, consisting of over 250 known natural products. Moreover, their structural complexity and diversity have attracted considerable attention from numerous laboratories including our own. Recently, we have developed a unified approach that would provides access to numerous, previously unprepared C₁₀-functionalized lycopodium alkaloids....
Mandelalide A has attracted considerable interest from the synthetic community due to its intriguing structure and important cytotoxic activity. Madeirolide A, a structurally related macrolide, shows promising antifungal activity but no appreciable anticancer activity. This dissertation describes synthetic studies toward mandelalide A, madeirolide A and their hybrid structures.

Three approaches toward the core of halichlorine and pinnaic acid are described. The first approach entails a racemic transannular nitrone-olefin [3+2] cycloaddition from nitrone 238. Construction of the nitrone 238 began with aldehyde 241. Another key feature in this route involved a ring-closing metathesis for the formation of a 14-membered...
In the past decades, femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) has been gaining tremendous popularity in fundamental sciences stemming from chemistry to biology. It is capable of capturing both equilibrium and non-equilibrium structural information across a broad range of timescales with simultaneously high temporal and spectral resolutions. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy...
