Chapter 01 History. Chapter 02 2018 Arnold. Chapter 03 2021 List and MacMillan. Chapter 04 2022 Meldal Sharpless and Bertozzi. Index

This unique set of volumes focuses on summarizing the Nobel Prize within organic chemistry, as well as the specializations within this specialty. Furthermore, it serves as an outstanding resource for providing a better understanding of the circumstances that led to these discoveries and what has happened as a result, in the years since.

Dr. John G. DAngelo earned his BS in Chemistry from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2000. While at Stony Brook, he worked in Prof. Peter Tonges lab on research toward elucidating the mechanism of action of FAS-II inhibitors for anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis drugs. He was also an active member of the chemistry club, serving as its treasurer for a year. After graduating, he worked as a summer research associate at Stony Brook in Prof. Nancy Goroffs lab, working toward the synthesis of molecular belts. He then earned his PhD from the University of Connecticut in 2005, working in the laboratories of Michael B. Smith. There, Dr. DAngelo worked on the synthesis of 2-nucleobase, 5-hydroxymethyl lactams as putative antiHIV agents while also investigating the usefulness of the conducting polymer poly-(3,4-ethylinedioxy thiophene) as a chemical reagent. He served as a teaching assistant during most of his five years at UCONN and was awarded the Outstanding TA award during one of these years. After completing his PhD, he took a position as a postdoctoral research associate at The Johns Hopkins University in Prof. Gary H. Posners lab. There, Dr. DAngelo worked on the development of artemisinin derivatives as anti-malarial and anti-toxoplasma gondii derivatives. In 2007, Dr. DAngelo accepted a position at Alfred University at the rank of Assistant Professor, and in 2013, he was awarded tenure and promotion to the rank of Assol£”
