1'iiis shor-t monograplh, awarded the 1951 "Jacksonian Prize" by the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, epitomises modern thought on the Surgery of Pancreatic Neoplasms. It is only during the past two decades that widespread surgical attention has been directed towards the radical cur-e of carcinoma of the pancreas, for long a field of the great masters, and the dar-ing pioneers. Ev'en t...

For many years the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol to a mixture of alkenes has been carried out in college organic chemistry labs to demonstrate the application of Zaitzev’s rule and the occurrence of the E1 reaction mechanism in alcohol dehydration reactions. In 1994 David Todd, then a chemistry professor at Pomona College, was distilling the product alkenes out of the reaction mixture whe...

Organic Synthesis is a computationally challenging practical problem concerned with constructing a target molecule from a set of initially available molecules via chemical reactions. This paper demonstrates how organic synthesis can be formulated as a planning problem in Artificial Intelligence, and how it can be explored using the state-of-the-art domain independent planners. To this end, we d...

A modern undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory experiment involving the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is reported. Although Suzuki-Miyaura couplings typically employ palladium catalysts in environmentally harmful solvents, this experiment features the use of inexpensive nickel catalysis, in addition to a "green" alcohol solvent. The experiment employs heterocyclic substrates, which are important...
