This document appears to be a report from Dr. Fikret Koc of the Chemistry Department summarizing the work of a student, Nabeel B Azeez, involving the synthesis of organic compounds including diols, carbamates, dihydropyridones, selenides, thiocarbamates, acetals, aminodiols and lactams through reactions such as Michael additions and manipulations of functional groups. The student synthesized a variety of complex organic molecules and intermediates for further use in organic chemistry.
