Research Interests
Physical Organic Chemistry; Natural products of plants and mushrooms, Organic Chemistry education in both classroom the laboratory settings.
Plant and fungal organic natural products, can be isolated from locally collected materials, structurally characterized by spectroscopic and chemical means, and examined for bioactivity. The choice of the sources of the natural products is driven by folklore reports of medicinal use of these plants and mushrooms. For example, quinones are ubiquitous in nature, serving a variety of functions in plants and animals. We are presently investigating the photochemical dimerization of quinones reportedly found in various impatiens plants.
