I also participate in relevant student organizations addressing LGBT rights, sexual assault, and other important concerns. My feminist literature courses continue to be my most intellectually rewarding. In fact, when I interviewed for my job at Loyola, I pitched my dream course: a study of “dead women talking.” From Madeline Usher to Toni Morrison’s Beloved, these strange

focuses on the adaptation of the Tsuji-Wacker oxidation to be used in an undergraduate lab. The main purpose for adapting this reaction is to find an environmentally-friendly hydration method that can be used to selectively synthesize the Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov forms. Using a literature reference, it was discovered that replacing the typical pd (II) catalyst with an iron catalyst yielded a similar result. Using an iron catalyst as opposed to a palladium catalyst would be very beneficial as
