In this chapter, the authors demonstrate how a university Art Education program assists the university art museum and trains students to lead tours for BRAINY (BRinging Arts INtegration to Youth), the museum's educational program for Title I schools. The authors present how they guide student educators to develop tours for BRAINY by applying different interpretive strategies. The impacts that BRAINY creates for the visiting students and local communities include 1) the enhancement of civic engagement for young citizens, 2) high-quality art experiences for Title I schools, 3) the extended community program—Family Day. The impacts on student art educators are 1) knowing how to teach art in different learning contexts that are outside of the classroom, 2) applying the questioning strategies to their classroom teaching for probing art dialogues with students, 3) learning to be prepared but also flexible for unexpected situations. This chapter provides a practical and positive example to address a wonderful collaboration between an art museum, community members, and higher education.

Since five-membered ring ethers often do not show good selectivity on equilibration, single diastereomers are best formed under kinetic control. Aaron Aponick of the University of Florida demonstrated (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 669) that under gold catalysis, the allylic alcohol 1 cyclized to 2 with remarkable diastereocontrol. Six-membered rings also formed with high cis stereocontrol. Ian Cumpstey of Stockholm University showed (Chem. Commun. 2008, 1246) that with protic acid, allylic acetates such as 3 cyclized with clean inversion at the allylic center, and concomitant debenzylation. J. Stephen Clark of the University of Glasgow found (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 1040) that Rh catalyzed cyclization of 5 proceeded with high selectivity for insertion into Ha, leading to the alcohol 6. Saumen Hajra of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur took advantage (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 3935) of the reactivity of the aldehyde of 7, effecting selective addition of 7 to 8, to deliver, after reduction, the lactone 9. Tomislav Rovis of Colorado State University observed (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 612) that 10 could be cyclized selectively to either 11 or 12. Nadège Lubin-Germain, Jacques Uziel and Jacques Augé of the University of Cergy- Pontoise devised (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 725) conditions for the indium-mediated coupling of glycosyl fluorides such as 13 with iodoalkynes such as 14 to give the axial C-glycoside 15. Katsukiyo Miura and Akira Hosomi of the University of Tsukuba employed (Chemistry Lett. 2008, 37, 270) Pt catalysis to effect in situ equilibration of the alkene 16 to the more stable regioisomer. Subsequent condensation with the aldehyde 17 led via Prins cyclization to the ether 18. Paul E. Floreancig of the University of Pittsburgh showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 4184) that Prins cyclization could be also be initiated by oxidation of the benzyl ether 19 to the corresponding carbocation. Chan-Mo Yu of Sungkyunkwan University developed (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 265) a stereocontrolled route to seven-membered ring ethers, by Pd-mediated stannylation of allenes such as 21, followed by condensation with an aldehyde.

Williams of Colorado State University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6557) that the condensation of 14 with formaldehyde delivered the cyclopentanone 15 with high diastereocontrol. D. Srinivasa Reddy of Advinus Therapeutics devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 5291) conditions for the tandem conjugate addition/intramolecular alkylation conversion of 16 to 17. Marie E. Krafft of Florida State University reported (Synlett 2010, 2583) a related intramolecular alkylation protocol. Takao Ikariya of the Tokyo Institute of Technology effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11414) the enantioselective Ru-mediated hydrogenation of bicyclic imides such as 18. This transformation worked equally well for three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. Stefan France of the Georgia Institute of Technology developed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5684) a catalytic protocol for the homo-Nazarov rearrangement of the doubly activated cyclopropane 20 to the cyclohexanone 21. Richard P. Hsung of the University of Wisconsin effected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5768) the highly diastereoselective rearrangement of the triene 22 to the cyclohexadiene 23. Strategies for polycyclic construction are also important. Sylvain Canesi of the Université de Québec devised (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4368) the oxidative cyclization of 24 to 25.

Ramón Gómez Arrayás and Juan C. Carretero of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid effected (Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 6701) enantioselective conjugate borylation of an unsaturated sulfone 1, leading to the alcohol 2. Robert E. Gawley of the University of Arkansas found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 19680) conditions for enantioselective ketone reduction that were selective enough to distinguish between the ethyl and propyl groups of 3 to give 4. Vicente Gotor of the Universidad de Oviedo used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 8387) an overexpressed Baeyer-Villiger monoxygenase to prepare 6 by dynamic kinetic resolution of 5. Li Deng of Brandeis University prepared (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 12458) 8 in high ee by kinetic enantioselective migration of the alkene of racemic 7. Bernhard Breit of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 20746) the oxygenated quaternary center of 10 by the addition of benzoic acid to the allene 9. Keith R. Fandrick of Boehringer Ingelheim constructed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 10332) the oxygenated quaternary center of 13 by enantioselective addition of the propargylic nucleophile 12 to 11. Yian Shi of Colorado State University devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 12914) conditions for the enantioselective transamination of the α-keto ester 14 to the amine 15. Professor Deng added (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2011, 353, 3123) 18 to an enone 17 to give the protected amine 19. Song Ye of the Institute of Chemistry, Beijing effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 15894) elimination/addition of an unsaturated acid chloride 20 to give the γ-amino acid derivative 22. Frank Glorius of the Universität Münster added (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 1410) an aldehyde 23 to 24 to give the amide 25. Sentaro Okamoto of Kanagawa University designed (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 6678) an organocatalyst for the enantioselective Steglich rearrangement of 26, creating the aminated quaternary center of 27. Most impressive of all was the report (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 5460) by Hélène Lebel of the Université de Montréal of the direct enantioselective C–H amination of 28 to give 29.

The enantioselective bromocyclization of dicarbonyl 1 to form dihydrofuran 3 using thiocarbamate catalyst 2 was developed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 8597) by Ying-Yeung Yeung at the National University of Singapore. Access to dihydrofuran 5 from the cyclic boronic acid 4 and salicylaldehyde via a morpholine-mediated Petasis borono-Mannich reaction was reported (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 5944) by Xian-Jin Yang at East China University of Science and Technology and Jun Yang at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry. Chiral phosphoric acid 7 was shown (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 13593) by Jianwei Sun at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to catalyze the enantioselective acetalization of diol 6 to form tetrahydrofuran 8 with high stereoselectivity. Jan Deska at the University of Cologne reported (Org.

Ferreira at Colorado State University developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 17266) the platinum-catalyzed bisheterocyclization of alkyne diol 15 to fur­nish the bisheterocycle 16. Chiral sulfur ylides such as 17, which can be synthesized easily and cheaply, were shown (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 11951) by Eoghan M. McGarrigle at the University of Bristol and University College Dublin and Varinder K. Aggarwal at the University of Bristol to stereoselectively epoxidize a variety of alde­hydes, as exemplified by 18.

Abstract The Mackenzie Mountains EarthScope Project—a collaboration between Colorado State University, the University of Alaska, Michigan State University, and Yukon College—deployed a roughly linear, 40-station broadband seismographic network. This network crossed the actively deforming Northern Canadian Cordillera and the Mackenzie Mountains in Yukon, Canada; it also extended into the Canadian Shield in Northwest Territories, Canada. The array was deployed between July 2016 and August 2018 (with four pilot stations installed in July 2015 and three extended stations operating through August 2019) coinciding with and complementing the deployment of the EarthScope Transportable Array to Alaska and western Canada. In this article, we present an overview of project scientific objectives, station configurations, and site conditions; discuss environmental challenges, including those that resulted in station downtime (e.g., spring flooding and encounters with bears); and suggest potential solutions to such subarctic challenges for the benefit of future deployments in comparable regions. We also include an initial characterization of seasonal and geographic variations in ambient seismic noise for the northwestern Canadian Cordillera.

Fifty racing greyhounds with fracture of the accessory carpal bone presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospitals at The University of Sydney (n = 35) and Colorado State University (n = 15) were reviewed for the purpose of identifying the frequency of the various fracture types, and to suggest possible factors which predispose to the injuries. All but three fractures occurred while the dogs were racing. All dogs raced on elliptical tracks in a counterclockwise direction, and this was implicated in the pathogenesis and anatomical distribution of these fractures.

Mei-Huey Lin of the National Changhua University of Education rearranged (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 2751) the initial allene derived from 1 to the γ-chloroenone. Displacement with acetate followed by hydrolysis led to the furan 2. A. Stephen K. Hashmi of Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 3715) that the Au-catalyzed conversion of the bis alkyne 3, mediated by 4, proceeded selectively to give 5. Tehshik P. Yoon of the University of Wisconsin used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 793) visible light with a Ru catalyst to rearrange the azide 6 to the pyrrole 7. Cheol-Min Park, now at UNIST, found (Chem. Sci. 2014, 5, 2347) that a Ni catalyst reorganized the methoxime 8 to the pyrrole 9. A Rh catalyst converted 8 to the corresponding pyridine (not illustrated). In the course of a synthesis of opioid ligands, Kenner C. Rice of the National Institute on Drug Abuse optimized (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 5007) the preparation of the pyridine 11 from the alcohol 10. Vincent Tognetti and Cyrille Sabot of the University of Rouen heated (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 1303) 12 and 13 under micro­wave irradiation to give the 3-hydroxy pyridine 14. Tomislav Rovis of Colorado State University prepared (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 2735) the pyridine 17 by the Rh-catalyzed combination of 15 with 16. Fabien Gagosz of the Ecole Polytechnique rearranged (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 4959) the azirine 18, readily available from the oxime of the β-keto ester, to the pyridine 19. Matthias Beller of the Universität Rostock used (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 1818) a Zn catalyst to mediate the opening of the epoxide 21 with the aniline 20. A Rh cata­lyst effected the oxidation and cyclization of the product amino alcohol to the indole 22. Sreenivas Katukojvala of the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 4076) that the diazo ketone 23 could be used to anneal a benzene ring onto the pyrrole 24, leading to the 2,7-disubstituted indole 25.

Ed. 2013, 52, 1576) an asymmetric hydrocyanation of styrene 11 with Ni(cod)₂ and phosphine–phosphite ligand 12 to yield exclusively the branched cyanide 13. A simi­lar transformation of styrene 11 to the hydroxycarbonylated product 15 was catalyzed (Chem. Commun. 2013, 49, 3306) by palladium complex 14, as reported by Matthew L. Clarke at the University of St Andrews. Feng-Ling Qing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 2198) that the hydrotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkene 16 to 17 was catalyzed by silver nitrate. The same transformation was also reported (J. Am.Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 2505) by Véronique Gouverneur at the University of Oxford using a ruthenium photocatalyst and the Umemoto reagent 18. Clark R. Landis at the University of Wisconsin, Madison reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1564) a one-pot asymmetric hydroformylation using 21 followed by Wittig olefination to transform alkene 19 into the γ-chiral α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound 20. Debabrata Mati at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 3355) that alkene 22 could be nitrated stereoselectively with silver nitrite and TEMPO to form alkene 23. Damian W. Young at the Broad Institute disclosed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1218) that a macrocyclic vinylsiloxane 24, which was synthesized via an E-selective ring clos­ing metathesis reaction, could be functionalized to make either E- or Z-alkenes, 25 and 26.
