An Introduction to Organic Chemistry (Lowy, Alexander; Harrow, Benjamin)

Alexander Woo and Benjamin

Using recent results of the second author which explicitly identify the “(1, 2, 1, 2)avoiding” GL(p,C)×GL(q,C)-orbit closures on the flag manifold GL(p+q,C)/B as certain Richardson varieties, we give combinatorial criteria for determining smoothness, lci-ness, and Gorensteinness of such orbit closures. (In the case of smoothness, this gives a new proof of a theorem of W.M. McGovern.) Going a st...

Introduction to Green Chemistry, Organic Synthesis and Pharmaceuticals

The well being of modern society is unimaginable without the myriad products of industrial organic synthesis. Our quality of life is strongly dependent on, inter alia , the products of the pharmaceutical industry, such as antibiotics for combating disease and analgesics or anti infl ammatory drugs for relieving pain. The origins of this industry date back to 1935, when Domagk discovered the ant...
