Funded through a grant from the National Science Foundation (Award # CNS-1936073), Oregon State University has led a nationwide effort to identify best practices for the inclusive recognition of innovation† & entrepreneurship (I&E) impact within promotion and tenure (P&T) guidelines. The grant PI for this effort is Rich G. Carter....
Two viable pathways (vinyl sulfide and acyl oxonium ion) for the Pummerer cyclization have been unraveled that expand the reaction scope and capabilities. Use of Bronsted-enhanced Lewis acidity was key to realization of the vinyl sulfide pathway, whereas selective complexation of the sulfur lone pair facilitated the unprecedented acyl oxonium...
The first total syntheses of triptobenzene T, vitexifolin C, 4-epi-triptobenzene L, triptobenzene L, and nepetaefolin F have been accomplished through an enantioselective, common intermediate approach and have enabled the confirmation and/or establishment of the absolute stereochemistry of each natural product synthesized. Application of three new and/or underutilized Pummerer reaction pathways...
Fusarium crown rot (FCR), caused by and , reduces wheat ( L.) yields in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the US by as much as 35%. Resistance to FCR has not yet been discovered in currently grown PNW wheat cultivars. Several significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) for FCR resistance have...
