Development Of A One-Pot Allylation And Claisen Rearrangement Of Acetaminophen By Applying Microwave Radiation, Brandon R. Tessier
Development Of A One-Pot Allylation And Claisen Rearrangement Of Acetaminophen By Applying Microwave Radiation, Brandon R. Tessier
Landmark Conference Summer Research Symposium
The Claisen rearrangement is a widely applicable organic reaction that involves the shift of a sigma bond across the pi-system of an allyl vinyl ether to produce allylated phenols. In this project, we aim to develop a microwave assisted allylation of a phenol, followed by a subsequent Claisen rearrangement in one pot. The goals of this project are three-fold. First, we aim to accelerate these reactions using microwave assisted organic synthesis because to date, microwave technology has been sparsely used in Claisen chemistry. Second, we aim to perform these reactions in a single pot, enhancing the simplicity and elegance of …
The Transesterification Of Hickory Nuts Into Biodiesel Fuel, Hannah Trauger, Madilynn Dewell, Jahida A. Mendoza
The Transesterification Of Hickory Nuts Into Biodiesel Fuel, Hannah Trauger, Madilynn Dewell, Jahida A. Mendoza
Undergraduate Research Conference
• Biodiesel fuels can be produced from a fat and an alcohol via transesterification
• Hickory nuts have a high fat content (~60 % by weight)
• Can nuts from shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) be used to produce a biodiesel fuel using existing acidcatalyzed transesterification methods?
Longitudinal Study Of Lanana Creek, Bayler Barnes, Jackson T. Ortiz, Trace Washburn
Longitudinal Study Of Lanana Creek, Bayler Barnes, Jackson T. Ortiz, Trace Washburn
Undergraduate Research Conference
A longitudinal study was done to collect data on the various conditions of LananaCreek in Nacogdoches, Texas over a seven week span from September 14 to November 2, 2018. The part of the creek studies is a 3.5 mile stretch from East Austin Street to Hoya Soccer Complex, mostly located on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University. There were 6 different testing sites selected along this expanse. Collection of samples was performed by the General Chemistry I Honors class as part of the laboratory experience. Once collected, the samples were transported back to the lab for testing. The …
