• 13-Oct Dr. James Miranda, Assistant Professor, Sacramento State: Indirect Electroreductive Cyclization and Electrohydrocyclization Using Catalitic Reduced Nickel (II) Salen.
  Efforts to achieve the electroreductive cyclization (ERC) and the electro-hydrocyclization (EHC) reactions using catalytic nickel(II) salen are described. Cyclic voltammetry was used to demonstrate the presence of a catalytic current. Results of the investigation as well as a discussion of reaction mechanism will be presented.
