“Investigation of the
Reaction of Monochloramine, NH2Cl, and Dichloramine, NHCl2,
with m-Cresol in H2O.”
Carolyn Sharpe
Downey, California
“Study of the Phase
Transitions in Thin Film Cycloalkanones on an Aluminum Oxide Surface”
Rick
Bravo & Phil Wong
San Luis Obispo,
California & Hacienda Heights, California
Rick and Phil
successfully isolated purple acid phosphatase from bovine spleen in significant
quantities.
David
Gleason
Grover Beach,
California
David studied the
ionic reaction of halogens with trans-1-fluorooctene-1 to determine the
influence that a terminal fluorine would have on the regiochemistry of
interhalogens and halogen additions.
Andrew
(A. J.) Ryan
Lancaster, California
A.J. carried out ionic
and free-radical reactions of halogens with hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene.
Gregory Gawayne Vaughan
Auburn, California
Gawayne carried out
free-radical and ionic reactions of
a–fluorostyrene
and trans-1-fluorooctene-1.
