North Carolina State University Dabney and Cox Halls

On the Cover Our cover picture is taken from the brochure “Resources for Research in Chemistry” in the Research Triangle that was written during the spring of 1957 by William F. Little, then an assistant professor of chemistry at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The information was extracted from a master inventory of research resources and capabilities at the Triangle universities prepared by a committee chaired by Marcus E. Hobbs, then professor of chemistry and dean of the graduate school at Duke University. The brochure was prepared as a recruiting tool for chemical companies throughout the U.S., along with a broader brochure on the Triangle region and the Triangle universities, generally. The objective was to capture the attention of companies planning new research laboratories and looking for potential sites. Brochures were also carried on visits by "faculty traveling salesmen" to companies who were willing to receive a representative from the Triangle effort. The Research Triangle Park was not yet assembled, but the success of faculty member visits to these companies, assessed by follow-up return visits of company representatives to the Triangle area, was in effect a feasibility test that led to the assemblage now known as Research Triangle Park (RTP). RTP was financed and developed entirely by private contributions to the Research Triangle Foundation for the common good of the state of North Carolina. The objectives were to diversify the industrial base of North Carolina, to raise the per capita income with technology-based industries, and to reverse a brain drain by providing a new profile of employment opportunities for the state's youth. On the three corners of the brochure are pictures of the current namesakes for the three major university’s chemistry departments. On the upper left is Francis P. Venable. This picture was taken in 1880 when beards where in fashion from the President on down. Venable’s father encouraged him to let his beard grow in order to look more mature. Charles W. Dabney appears on the lower left. Dabney was seriously considered for the chair of chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill, but had made a commitment to a school in Kentucky. When Dabney was released from his commitment in Kentucky, Venable had already accepted the chair of chemistry position. Dabney then became the head of the Agricultural Experimental Station and was instrumental in the founding of North Carolina State University. On the middle right is Paul M. Gross, who was one of the organizers of the National Science Foundation and was its first Vice Chairman. He was also president of the AAAS and one of the original board members of RTP, as well as Chairman of the Department '29~'59, Dean of the Graduate School and Vice President of Duke University. The development and growth of RTP has been chronicled in the documentary "North Carolina's Research Triangle Park: An Investment in the Future", produced by PBS and aired by WUNC-TV:

“Asymmetric Synthesis and Synthetic Utility of Heterocyclic Building Blocks”

Abstract Over the years, heterocycles have been found to be versatile building blocks for the synthesis of functionalized organic compounds and structures of diverse architecture. In this area of organic synthesis, my research group has contributed by exploring the synthesis and synthetic utility of N-acylpyridinium salts I and N-acyldihydropyridones of the type II.

These heterocycles can be prepared enantiopure and have the potential to be used as precursors to indolizidines, quinolizidines, perhydroquinolines, various substituted piperidines, indole alkaloids, pipecolic acids, benzomorphans, peptide mimics, novel amino acids, scaffolds for combinatorial chemistry, and ligands for asymmetric synthesis. The importance of nitrogen heterocycles in natural products, biologically active compounds, and synthetic pharmaceuticals continues to drive research in the development of new strategies and methods for their synthesis and stereoselective substitution reactions. Our latest progress in this area will be presented.

Biographical Sketch Professor Daniel Comins received his B.A. degree in Chemistry in 1972 from the State University of New York at Potsdam and his Ph.D. in 1977 from the University of New Hampshire. During 1977-1979, he was a Postdoctoral Associate under the direction of Professor A.I. Meyers at Colorado State University working on the total synthesis of the antitumor alkaloids N-methylmaysenine and maysine. He joined the faculty of Utah State University in 1979, became an Associate Professor in 1984, and moved to North Carolina State University as a Full Professor in 1989. In 1994, Professor Comins received the NCSU Alumni Association Outstanding Research Award and was an NCSU Inventors Award Recipient in the years 1993-96, 2000, and 2002-05. He is presently a consultant with Johnson and Johnson, Scynexis, ChiraChem International Company, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, BioNumerik Pharmaceuticals, and the Research Triangle Institute. In 1995 and again in 1999, he was elected to the Advisory Board of the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemists. In 1995, he was selected as a member of the SUNY Alumni Honor Roll, and in 1997 he received the Minerva Award from SUNY-Potsdam. He has been a member of the Editorial Advisory Boards of Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry and ARKIVOC. In October 1996, Professor Comins was appointed an Associate Editor of the Journal of Organic Chemistry. In 1998, he became a Japan Society Promotion of Science (JSPS) Research Fellow. A travel fellowship was awarded in 2002 to allow Dr. Comins to be a Medium Term Visitor at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. In addition to 9 book chapters and review articles, Professor Comins and coworkers have published over 140 papers and have been awarded over 25 patents in various areas of organic synthesis. The Comins group has accomplished the synthesis of over 40 alkaloids. Recent synthetic achievements include asymmetric syntheses of (+)-elaeokanine A, (+)-elaeokanine C, (-)-septicine, (-)-tylophorine, (-)-laudanosine, (+)-carnegine, (+)-glaucine, (-)-xylopinine, (-)-pumiliotoxin C, (-)-lasubine I, (+)-subcosine I, (-)-sedamine, (+)-camptothecin, (+)-10-hydroxycamptothecin, (-)-porantheridine, (-)-indolizidine 235B, (-)-indolizidine 205A, (+)-indolizidine 209D, (-)-indolizidine 207A, trans-decahydroquinoline alkaloid (+)-219A, piperidine alkaloid (+)-241D, (+)-dienomycin C, (+)-benzomorphan, (+)-metazocine, (-)-Nα-acetyl-Nβ-methylphlegmarine, (-)-perhydrohistrionicotoxin, (+)-luciduline, (+)-cannabisativine, (+)-streptazolin, (+)-desoxoprosopinine, (+)-deoxynojirimycin, (+)-allopumiliotoxin 267A, (-)-Nα-methyl-Nβ-acetylphlegmarine, (-)-phlegmarine, (-)-Nα-methylphlegmarine, (-)-Nβ-methyl-phlegmarine, (+)-lennoxamine, and (+)-hyperaspine. It is with great pleasure that the North Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society recognizes the accomplishments of Dr. Daniel L. Comins with the presentation of the 2005 North Carolina ACS Distinguished Lecturer Award.

Barbara A. Whittaker Memorial Scholarship This award was created September 4, 1997 by the World-Wide Toxicology Department of Becton Dickinson in RTP to be given to an outstanding North Carolina State University senior majoring in chemistry who exemplified the personal qualities of dedication and scholarship which Barbara A. Whittaker possessed. It was endowed through contributions from Becton Dickenson, co-workers, and many friends and colleagues. The North Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society assisted in the establishment of this scholarship. Dr. Whittaker served many years as the editor of the ACS Section Newsletter, the TarHelium. A plaque presented by the American Chemical Society hangs in the lobby of Becton Dickinson in RTP and serves as a lasting tribute and reminder to her colleagues of the numerous contributions that she made as chemistry manager. It is fitting that this scholarship is one of the threads in the fabric woven between the local scientific academic community and scientific research industry in Research Triangle Park, NC. The scholarship is administered by the PAMS Foundation office at N.C. State University. Donations for this Memorial Scholarship may be sent to that office in care of the Barbara A. Whittaker Memorial Scholarship Endowment. Current Recipients 2004 Past Recipients: 2004 2003 2002 2001 Ed E. Cole 2000 Shawn Robert Campagna - Jonathan Lindsey, Advisor 1999 Larken Euliss

2004 NC-ACS Chair’s Award

Meredith Storms from the Department of Chemistry at UNC-Pembroke receives a 2004 NC-ACS Chair’s Award for her leadership in continuation of the work with National Chemistry Week. William F. Gutknecht from RTI International receives a 2004 NC-ACS Chair’s Award for his excellent work compiling, editing, printing and distributing the program book for the 2004 Southeastern Regional Meeting of the ACS held in RTP.

Past Chair’s Award

Darrell S. Coleman receives this award for his distinguished service as the 2004 Chair of the North Carolina Section of the ACS.

2005 Marcus E. Hobbs Award

Howie James

Waters Corporation

Howie James receives the 2005 Marcus E. Hobbs Award in recognition of his service to the North Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society. Howie has a B.A. degree in Chemistry from Syracuse University and an M.S. degree in Polymer Science from the University of Akron Polymer Institute. He has been a member of the American Chemical Society for 39 years and also a member of Sigma Xi. He was involved for several years on the ASTM D20.70.04 subcommittee on size exclusion chromatography and co-editor of the ASTM Bibliography on Liquid Exclusion Chromatography. Prior to joining Waters Corporation in 1977, he spent several years in polymer research with the General Tire & Rubber Co., Calgon Corporation, and Standard Oil of Ohio. He has held various field sales and marketing positions while at Waters and is currently an Executive Technical Sales Representative. He resides in Cary with his wife. Howie James has been an active participant in the Triangle Chromatography Discussion Group (TCDG) almost from the moment he arrived in the Triangle area in the mid-1980s, over 15 years ago. During that time he has been an active contributor in planning and executing TCDG activities such as workshops, seminars, and the annual Triangle Symposium and Instrument Exhibit. Most recently, Howie has served the TCDG as Acting President, replacing a lost officer in a time of group need, and then as the elected Program Chair (President-Elect), and President of the TCDG (1999). Howie has selflessly shared his experience, time, and energy with the TCDG throughout his involvement with the group. In addition to his direct contributions to the group, Howie has also found ways to contribute as a liaison with other discussion groups in the area (e.g., the South Carolina Laboratory Management Society, the Western Carolina Chromatography Discussion Group). His efforts with, and participation in, these groups translated into a sharing of information and ideas which would not have been otherwise available.

2005 Marcus E. Hobbs Award

Sol Levine

IBM and NCSU, Retired

Sol Levine receives the 2005 Marcus E. Hobbs Award in recognition of his service to the North Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society. Sol is a long-time member of the American Chemical Society. After taking early retirement from IBM, Sol moved to the Triangle area in the 1990s. He has worked in teaching positions at North Carolina Central University, Durham Tech and North Carolina State University. Upon arriving in North Carolina, Sol immediately became involved with the Local Section by serving as Registration Chair for the 1998 Southeastern Regional meeting. He was the "guinea pig" registration chair for the first ever attempt at on-line registration at a regional meeting. This meant that he often had to enter the registration information himself because of the inevitable bugs in the software. After serving the 1998 Regional Meeting, he was elected Local Section Secretary for two consecutive terms and then stepped up to serve as General Chair of the 2004 Southeastern Regional Meeting. Most recently, he has allowed himself to be appointed Local Section Chair for 2005, after the Chair-Elect was forced to resign when he moved from the area. Sol also represents the NC Section at the regional level, having been elected to a 3-year term as treasurer of the Southeastern Regional Meeting Corporation. Sol has made and continues to make an admirable contribution to both Local Section and Regional ACS activities. Although it is a bit unusual to nominate a standing section Chair for the Marcus E. Hobbs service award, Sol Levine's history of involvement is unusual and outstanding.

Project SEED

Summer Educational Experiences for the Disadvantaged Winner of the 2001 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring

Project SEED is designed to encourage economically disadvantaged high school students to pursue career opportunities in the chemical sciences. The program places economically disadvantaged high school students in academic, industrial and government research laboratories for 8-10 weeks during the summer to experience “hands-on” research. Each student completes a chemical research project under the supervision of a scientist mentor and receives an educational award. Since 1968, the Project SEED Program has made it possible for more than 4500 talented high school students to conduct research in local chemical laboratories across the country. National direction for Project SEED is provided by the ACS Committee on Project SEED. Our local Project SEED Director is Kenneth Cutler.

Project SEED is for students from an economically disadvantaged background with an annual family income below $32,000 or does not exceed 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for family size. Exceptions can be made for incomes of up to $44,000, depending on family size and circumstances.

Students who have not graduated from high school are eligible for the Summer I program, and those returning for a second summer of research may participate in the Summer II program.

College scholarships (for a first-year nonrenewable) are available for SEED students who have graduated from high school and plan to attend college. The scholarships are restricted to students who will major in a chemical science field such as chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, or materials science. The scholarships are intended to assist former SEED participants in their transition from high school to college.

NC-ACS Discussion Groups

The Triangle Area Mass Spectrometry Discussion Group (TAMS) serves a diverse group of scientists, from both academia and industry. TAMS is based in the Research Triangle Park, conveniently located between Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh. Attendance at the meetings is typically 35-45 scientists and students, with some meetings drawing in excess of 100 people. To meet the interests of such a variety of scientists with diverse interests, a balanced program between theory and applications is attempted, as well as covering a variety of applications. Due to the large number of scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, the application seminars are weighted towards these areas. More information, as well as a list of previous seminars and speakers is located at the following URL:

YOUNGER CHEMISTS COMMITTEE

The Younger Chemists Committee (NC-YCC) was founded in 1999 to encourage greater participation in the ACS in the Local Section by its younger members. Membership is targeted toward those chemists in the NC Section of the ACS who are under 35 years of age who show an interest in the group. There is no membership fee. The YCC’s primary goal is to make the ACS more accessible to the younger chemist. The YCC also has the responsibility to ensure that the special needs of the younger chemists are included in the goals and operations of the ACS. The YCC has events designed to provide informative lectures and discussions for career development and advancement. Events are not limited to scientific talks nor restricted to younger members. At all functions a social atmosphere is intended to bring younger chemists in the area to meet and network in a friendly environment. The YCC is also involved in events to bring chemistry to the community through projects such as National Chemistry Week and the NC State Fair.

North Carolina Section American Chemical Society

The CIIT Centers for Health Research is a not-for-profit research institute,

conducting fundamental research that focuses on the action of chemicals on

biological systems

Founded in 1886, Sigma Xi is the international honor society of research

scientists and engineers, with a distinguished history of service to

science and society.

Facts about the NC-ACS Local Section

Courtesy of Professor Maurice M. Bursey, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

• The American Chemical Society was founded in 1876 in New York, then the center of chemical research in the country.

• Local Sections were not started outside of New York until 1890, when Rhode Island members formed a section. Earlier they had threatened to start a new chemical society because of the restriction of activities to New York.

• The North Carolina Section (1896) was the first in the South. About half a dozen local sections had been established in the North.

• Members of the North Carolina Section in 1896 were mostly professors at colleges and university and scientists at the North Carolina Experiment Station.

• Drive for a section in North Carolina came primarily from Charles Baskerville, a new professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

• The first president of the North Carolina Section was Francis Venable, head of the chemistry department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He was president for three years, a record so far unmatched by any successor.

• The first meeting was in Raleigh, on February 22. Undoubtedly this date was chosen because it was a school holiday (George Washington's birthday). Travel to the meeting would have taken a long time. For example, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, attendees would have had to take the spur train to University Station, then the main railroad line through Durham to Raleigh!

• The program was quite extensive. Several members doing their own research gave research reports on their work.

• At first the North Carolina Section's area covered the whole state. Meetings were held all over the state accessible by train in spite of the substantial amount of travel involved. Often travel involved one or two night's stay at the meeting city.

• B. W. Kilgore of the Experiment Station was the first government/industrial chemist to be the section president.

• William Withers of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, now North Carolina State University, was another early president. He was famous for his research on the poisonous constituent of untreated cotton, gossypol.

• In time other Sections were split off from the North Carolina Section, as the number of chemists grew in North Carolina and demands on their time prevented far-ranging travel. Today there are five sections or parts of section of the American Chemical Society in North Carolina, covering all but a few of the most rural of the 100 counties.

• Fewer than 20 chemists were at the first meeting 100 years ago. Today there are over 3000 chemists in the five sections of North Carolina. Of these five, the North Carolina Section is still the largest. It extends from the Research Triangle north and south to the borders with Virginia and South Carolina, and has about 2600 members.

• Most of these 2600 members are employed in the Research Triangle Park, with its heavy research basis in pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, electronics, environmental research, and basic chemical and biochemical research. There are also large numbers of chemists at area colleges and universities in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, textile chemistry, environmental science, and materials science departments.
