Congratulations to Kwabena for successfully defending his thesis research and graduating from our chemistry master’s program!

July 1, 2021 by Wei Shi

On June 16, Kwabena successfully defended his master thesis research on developing an efficient synthesis of a glucose trichloroacetimidate donor, which requires only a single column over seven steps. The overall yield for the synthesis is ~46%, which accounts for ~90% for each step. His methodology highlights a novel protocol for a key NBS-mediated desulfuration […]
