Absolute stereochemistry and total synthesis of botryococcene

Creator:

Reddy, Guvvala Nagabhushana

Abstract:

Studies were carried out to determine the absolute stereochemistry of botryococcene (1). The natural product was degraded to two sets of 'y- and 8- valerolactones. All enantiomeric variations of these lactones were synthesized in optically pure form starting from (S)- and (R)-methyloxiranes. 1H NMR correlation of natural and synthetic materials...

Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

Creator:

Schrlau, Jill E.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...
