Abstract Momentum is growing for the Age-Friendly University Network as proponents, primarily gerontology educators, have successfully encouraged university presidents to sign nonbinding pledged to become more age-friendly in programs and policies, endorsing 10 Age-Friendly University Principles. While this trend is inspiring, more is needed to fully achieve benefits for universities, students, communities, and older adults. Four presentations discuss innovative ways of deepening university commitment, weaving the principles into the fabric of the university. The first paper describes thematic content analysis from five focus groups with admissions and career services staff at Washington University in St. Louis and the recommendations that emerged for the provision of programs and services for post-traditional students. The second paper describes efforts to utilize community-impact internships and community partnerships to build support for Age-Friendly University initiatives at Central Connecticut State University, particularly in the context of the university’s recent Carnegie Foundation Engaged Campus designation. The third paper describes how Drexel University became Philadelphia’s first Age-Friendly University and current efforts in the Drexel College of Nursing and Heatlh Care Profession’s AgeWell Collaboratory to convene university-wide leadership for an AFU Steering Committee working on four mission-driven efforts to ensure AFU sustainability. The fourth paper describes steps taken by AFU proponents at Western Oregon State University to gain endorsement from university leadership and community, including mapping the 10 AFU Principles to the university’s strategic plan, faculty senate endorsement, and survey/interview results of older community members’ use of the university, which collectively have enhanced deeper and broader campus buy-in of AFU.

Abstract In 2019, Drexel University became the first Age-Friendly University (AFU) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The College of Nursing and Health Profession’s AgeWell Collaboratory (a center without walls that aims to disrupt the healthcare system’s traditional approach to aging) is leading the Age-friendly Drexel Steering Committee, which is composed of leadership throughout the university. The Collaboratory purposefully connected the committee to four key mission-driven efforts in order to ensure sustainability: 1)Strategic planning, both at the university and college level 2)The institution’s research agenda 3)Existing programming and work groups (ie. The University Committee on Accessibility and the School of Professional Development and Institutional Advancement’s efforts to engage more older adults),4) Community engagement efforts, such as the City of Philadelphia’s Age-friendly initiative and the university’s community outreach hub, the Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships. This presentation will discuss how to leverage the AFU movement through mission-driven efforts among senior leadership, faculty, staff and students.

THE recipient of the Clifford G. Grulee Award of the American Academy of Pediatrics for 1965 is Clarence H. Webb of Shreveport, Louisiana. Born in Shreveport in 1902, Dr. Webb was graduated from Tulane University in 1923 and received his M.D. degree from the same university in 1925. Later—in 1931—he received the M.S. degree in pediatrics from the University of Chicago, where he completed a residency at the Bobs Roberts Hospital. Previously he had a year of residency at the University of Minnesota Hospital. Dr. Webb has been in the private practice of pediatrics in Shreveport since 1931. He has also been visiting lecturer at the Tulane School of Medicine since 1947 and professor of pediatrics in the Postgraduate School of the Louisiana State University School of Medicine since 1956. In addition, he finds time to lecture at the Northwestern College of Nursing in Natchitoches. He holds staff appointments at four private hospitals in the Shreveport area and is chief of pediatrics at Confederate Memorial Hospital. Dr. Webb is a member of a number of medical organizations and has served as president of the Louisiana and Shreveport Pediatric Societies, as well as president of the Shreveport Medical Society. He has been active in many local, state, and national organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America, the Louisiana Public Health Association, from which he received its annual award in 1957; the American Anthropological Association, and the Society for American Archeology. Dr. Webb served as president of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1962-1963, previously serving as a member of the Executive Board and as chairman of District VIII. These services were outstanding and important.

Richard J. K. Taylor of the University of York has developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 1935) the diasteroselective intramolecular Michael cyclization of phosphonates such as 2. Quenching of the cyclized product with paraformaldehyde delivered ( + )-Paeonilactone B 3. Roberto Fernández de la Pradilla of the CSIC, Madrid established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2008, 49, 4167) the diastereoselective intramolecular hetero Michael addition of alcohols to enantiomerically-pure acyclic sulfoxides such as 4 to give the allylic sulfoxide 5. Mislow-Evans rearrangement converted 5 into 6, the enantiomerically-pure core of Ethyl Deoxymonate B 7. The ellagitannins, represented by 10, are single atropisomers around the biphenyl linkage. David R. Spring of the University of Cambridge found (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 2593) that the chiral constraint of the carbohydrate backbone of 9 directed the absolute sense of the oxidative coupling of the mixed cuprate derived from 9, leading to Sanguiin H-5 10 with high diastereomeric control. A key challenge in the synthesis of the solandelactones, exemplified by 14, is the stereocontrolled construction of the unsaturated eight-membered ring lactone. James D. White of Oregon State University found (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 4139) an elegant solution to this problem, by exposure of the cyclic carbonate 11 to the Petasis reagent, to give 12. Subsequent Claisen rearrangement delivered the eight-membered ring lactone, at the same time installing the ring alkene of Solandelactone E 14. AD-mix usually proceeds with only modest enantiocontrol with terminal alkenes. None the less, Ian Paterson, also of the University of Cambridge, observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 3016, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 3021) that bis-dihydroxylation of the diene 17 proceeded to give, after acid-mediated cyclization, the bis-spiro ketal core 18 of Spirastrellolide A Methyl Ester 19 with high diastereocontrol.

M. Kevin Brown of Indiana University prepared (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 3482) the cyclobutane 3 by the organocatalyzed addition of 2 to the alkene 1. Karl Anker Jørgensen of Aarhus University assembled (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 1685) the complex cyclobutane 7 by the addition of 5 to the acceptor 4, followed by conden­sation with the phosphorane 6. Zhi Li of the National University of Singapore balanced (ACS Catal. 2015, 5, 51) three enzymes to effect enantioselective opening of the epoxide 8 followed by air oxidation to 9. Gang Zhao of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry and Zhong Li of the East China University of Science and Technology added (Org. Lett. 2015, 17, 688) 10 to 11 to give 12 in high ee. Akkattu T. Biju of the National Chemical Laboratory combined (Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 9559) 13 with 14 to give the β-lactone 15. Paul Ha-Yeon Cheong of Oregon State University and Karl A. Scheidt of Northwestern University reported (Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 2690) related results. Dieter Enders of RWTH Aachen University constructed (Chem. Eur. J. 2015, 21, 1004) the complex cyclopentane 20 by the controlled com­bination of 16, 17, and 18, followed by addition of the phosphorane 19. Derek R. Boyd and Paul J. Stevenson of Queen’s University Belfast showed (J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 3429) that the product from the microbial oxidation of 21 could be protected as the acetonide 22. Ignacio Carrera of the Universidad de la República described (Org. Lett. 2015, 17, 684) the related oxidation of benzyl azide (not illustrated). Manfred T. Reetz of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung and the Philipps-Universität Marburg found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 8659) that cytochrome P450 could oxidize the cyclohexane 23 to the cyclohexanol 24. F. Dean Toste of the University of California, Berkeley aminated (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 3205) the ketone 25 with 26 to give 27. Benjamin List, also of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, reported (Synlett 2015, 26, 1413) a parallel investigation. Philip Kraft of Givaudan Schweiz AG and Professor List added (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 1960) 28 to 29 to give 30 in high ee.

Abstract The University of Massachusetts 5-campus system was the first university system to receive the Age-Friendly University designation in the AFU Global Network (Business West, 2019). Simultaneously, the town of Dartmouth and city of New Bedford became Age-Friendly Communities. This allowed for dynamic collaboration between our university and communities. This presentation highlights several examples. The Ora M. DeJesus Gerontology Center faculty and student researchers developed the original age-friendly survey items for New Bedford’s initial community assessment; and the College of Nursing and Health Sciences faculty and student researchers compiled data for Dartmouth’s survey. Community service during the pandemic has flourished. The Community Companions program, which matches students with community members in social need, went virtual. Nursing students and faculty have been on the frontline in the vaccination efforts in the town of Dartmouth. These partnerships will be presented as examples of potential opportunities for other age-friendly communities. Community-university partnerships are encouraged.

Shou-Fei Zhu of Nankai University developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 13188) an iron catalyst that effected the enantioselective cyclization of 1 to 2. Bypassing diazo precursors, Junliang Zhang of East China Normal University used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 13751) a gold catalyst to cyclize 3 to 4. Taking advantage of energy transfer from a catalytic Ir complex, Chuo Chen of University of Texas Southwestern carried out (Science 2014, 346, 219) intramolec­ular 2+2 cycloaddition of 5, leading, after dithiane formation, to the cyclobutane 6. Intramolecular ketene cycloaddition has been limited in scope. Liming Zhang of the University of California Santa Barbara found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 9572) that intramolecular oxidation of an intermediate Ru vinylidene led to a species that cyclized to the cyclobutanone 8. James D. White of Oregon State University devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 13578) an iron catalyst that mediated the enantioselective Conia-ene cyclization of 9 to 10. Xiaoming Feng of Sichuan University observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 11579) that the Ni-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of 11 proceeded with high diastereo- and enantiocontrol. The relative configuration of the product 12 was not reported. Robert H. Grubbs of Caltech showed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 13029) that ring opening cross metathesis of 13 with 14 delivered the Z product 15. Mn(III) cyclization has in the past required a stoichiometric amount of inorganic oxidant. Sangho Koo of Myong Ji University found (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2014, 356, 3059) that by adding a Co co- catalyst, air could serve as the stoichiometric oxidant. Indeed, 16 could be cyclized to 17 using inexpensive Mn(II). Matthias Beller of the Leibniz-Institüt für Katalyse prepared (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 13049) the cyclohexene 20 by coupling the racemic alcohol 18 with the amine 19. Paultheo von Zezschwitz of Philipps-Universität Marburg added (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 15897) diethyl zinc in a conjugate sense to 21, then reduced the product to give 22. Depending on the reduction method, either diastereomer of the product could be made dominant. Nuno Maulide of the University of Vienna dis­placed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 7068) the racemic chloride 23 with diethyl zinc to give 24 as a single diastereomer.

Yoshiji Takemoto of Kyoto University designed (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 2425) an organocatalyst for the enantioselective conjugate addition of alkene boronic acids to γ-hydroxy enones, leading to 1 in high ee. Attempted Mitsunobu coupling led to the cyclopropane 2, while bromoetherification followed by intramolecular alkylation delivered the cyclopropane 3. Jeffrey W. Bode of the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 677) a remarkable dichotomy in the reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbenes. A triazolium precatalyst combined 4 and 5 to give 6, whereas an imidazolium precatalyst combined 4 and 5 to give 7. Xinmiao Liang of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Jinxing Ye of the East China University of Science and Technology devised (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 753) a Cinchona -derived catalyst that converted the prochiral cyclohexenone 8 into the diester 10 in high ee. Rich G. Carter of Oregon State University found (J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 2246) a simple sulfonamide-based proline catalyst that effected the Mannich condensation of the prochiral ketone with ethyl glyoxalate 12 and the amine 13, leading to the amine 14. In the first pot of a concise, three-pot synthesis of (-)-oseltamivir, Yujiro Hayashi of the Tokyo University of Science combined (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 1304) 15 and 16 in the presence of a catalytic amount of diphenyl prolinol TMS ether to give an intermediate nitro aldehyde. Addition of the phosphonate 17 led to a cyclohexenecarboxylate, that on the addition of the thiophenol 18 equilibrated to the ester 19. Ying-Chun Chen of Sichuan University used (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 2848) a related diaryl prolinol TMS ether to direct the condensation of the readily-prepared phosphorane 20 with the unsaturated aldehyde 21 to give the cyclohexenone 22. Armando Córdova of Stockholm University also used (Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 3458) diphenyl prolinol TMS ether to mediate the addition of 24 to 23. The subsequent intramolecular aldol condensation proceeded with high diastereocontrol, leading to 25. Benjamin List of the Max-Planck Institut, Mülheim employed (Nat. Chem. 2009, 1, 225) a MacMillan catalyst for the reductive cyclization of 26.
