Saba, Shahrokh; Corozo-Morales, Ariel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A pedagogically useful undergraduate organic-chemistry-laboratory experiment has been developed that involves the synthesis of two structurally simple, achiral "O,O"- and "N,N"-acetal substrates with no stereocenters. The experiment introduces students to a "new" and more effective variant of classical acetal…

Saba, Shahrokh; Cagino, Kristen; Bennett, Caitlin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A pedagogically useful discovery-based undergraduate organic chemistry lab experiment probing the chemo- and diastereoselectivity in the NaBH[subscript 4] reduction of two chiral ketoesters (benzoin acetate and benzoin benzoate) has been developed. This experiment complements a previously described and highly popular discovery-based experiment…

Saba, Shahrokh; Clarke, Donald D.; Iwanoski, Christa; Lobasso, Thomas – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
This undergraduate organic laboratory experiment complements previously described and popular experiments on hydration of 1-hexene where students experimentally establish the Markovnikov regioselectivity of alkene hydration. In this experiment, students explore not only the regiochemistry but also the stereochemistry of 1-hexene hydration and…
