    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES A RTHUR CLAY C OPE 1909—1966 A Biographical Memoir by J O H N D . RO BERTS AND JOHN C . S HEEHAN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1991 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ARTHUR CLAY COPE June 27, 1909-June 4, 1966 BY JOHN D. ROBERTS AND JOHN C. SHEEHAN RTHUR CLAY COPE, an extraordinarily influential and Aimaginative organic chemist, was born on June 27, 1909, and died on June 4, 1966. He was the son of Everett Claire Cope and Jennie (Compton) Cope, who lived in Dunreith, Indiana, but later moved to Indianapolis to enhance their son's educational possibilities. Everett Cope was in the grain storage business and his wife worked for some time at the local YWCA office. In 1929 Arthur received the bachelor's degree in chem- istry from Butler University in Indianapolis, then, with the support of a teaching assistantship, moved to the University of Wisconsin for graduate work. His thesis advisor at Wisconsin was S. M. McElvain, whose research program included the synthesis of organic com- pounds with possible pharmaceutical uses—especially local anesthetics and barbiturates. Cope's thesis work, completed in 1932, was along these lines. It led to the discovery of a useful local anesthetic and provided the major theme of his research for many years. Cope clearly made a strong impression at Wisconsin dur- ing his graduate career. He completed his thesis work and three independent publications in three years and was rec- ommended by the Wisconsin organic chemistry faculty (then 17 18 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS headed by the redoubtable Homer Adkins) for one of the highly sought-after National Research Council Fellowships at Harvard.

  • MIT Opencourseware
    MIT OpenCourseWare MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a free and open digital publication of high-quality educational materials organized as courses. Through the Internet, MIT OpenCourseWare has opened MIT’s curriculum and the course materials created by MIT faculty to a global audience of teachers and learners. In the United States and around the world educators use these materials for teaching and curriculum development, while students and self- learners draw upon the materials for self-study or supplementary use. Since the inception of OCW in 2001, more than 8,850 individuals, including nearly 70% of current MIT tenured or tenure-track faculty members, have voluntarily shared their teaching materials through OCW, amassing a collection of many thousands of individual resources, including documents, video, audio, simulations, animations, and sample programming code. An estimated 150 million individuals have accessed these resources, and hundreds of universities around the world have joined MIT in sharing their own course materials freely and openly on the web. Highlights of the Year Publication Status As of June 30, 2013, there were 2,168 courses available on OCW, representing virtually the entire undergraduate and graduate curricula in MIT’s five schools and 33 academic units. Among the live courses on OCW, 742 represent more recent versions of courses that were previously published on OCW. These updated courses have fresh materials, often including new pedagogical approaches. We publish about 40–50 new courses and 60–70 updated courses each year. An update normally requires the complete reassembly of the course site and therefore involves an effort equal to that needed for publishing a new course.

  • Department of Chemistry
    Department of Chemistry Chemistry is the science of creation, discovery, and understanding at the molecular level. Its achievements continue to fuel advances in other branches of science, in medicine, and in engineering. Major new initiatives in the department include the synthesis of novel molecules to turn sunlight into chemical energy, nitrogen into ammonia, and carbon dioxide into useful reagents, the invention of new tools to investigate complex biological processes including neurochemical signaling, methods to characterize the dynamics of water and the unfolding of proteins in solution, and the design and synthesis of electronic polymers. In academic year 2004, the Chemistry Department continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Associated with the department currently are 260 graduate students, 98 postdoctoral researchers, and 104 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2004, the Chemistry Department faculty comprised 31 full‐time faculty members, including 6 assistant professors, 4 associate professors, and 21 full professors, including 1 Institute Professor. Effective July 1, 2003, Professors Jianshu Cao and Andrei Tokmakoff were promoted to associate professor without tenure. In the fall, professors Catherine L. Drennan and Timothy F. Jamison were promoted to associate professor without tenure, to take effect on July 1, 2004. Major Faculty Awards and Honors • Professor Moungi Bawendi was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. • Professor Sylvia T. Ceyer was elected fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science. • Professor Catherine L. Drennan received the Presidential Early Career Award, the Dean’s Educational and Student Advising Award, and the 2004 Edgerton Faculty Award. • Professor Gregory C. Fu received the 2004 E.

  • 5.310 Essential Oils
    EXPERIMENT # 3: Essential Oils (EO) MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Department of Chemistry 5.310 Laboratory Chemistry EXPERIMENT #3 ESSENTIAL OILS1 I. INTRODUCTION In this experiment2 you will be working with oils prepared from caraway seeds and spearmint leaves. Each oil has a distinct and characteristic odor, yet carvone is the major component in both oils! It is amazing that the difference in odor is attributable solely to a difference in chirality of the carvone in the two oils. Due to chirality of odor receptors in the nose the R-carvone and S-carvone fit into different receptor sites, hence different odor. Can you distinguish between the odors? 8-10% of the population cannot.3 Some physical data4 are presented below. O O ∗ ∗ H H (S) -(+)-Carvone (R) -(-)-Carvone FW = 150.22; bp 98-100/10 mm Fw=150.22; bp 227-230 oC 20 20 nD = 1.4970; d=0.9608 g/mL nD = 1.4990; d=0.9593 g/mL 20 o 20 o [α]D =+61.7 (neat 96%) [α]D =-62.5 (neat 98%) major component of caraway oil major component of spearmint oil (Carum carvi) (Mentha spicata) 1The experiment includes contributions from past instructors, course textbooks, and others affiliated with course 5.310 updated by John Dolhun May 2017. 2 Adapted from: Pavia, D.
