MINDO/3, MNDO, and AMI were developed by the Dewar group at the University of Texas at Austin. This group chose many parameters, such as heats of formation and geometries of sample molecules, to reproduce experimental quantities. The Dewar methods yield results that are closer to experiment than the UNDO and INDO methods.

Lipoic acid (6,8-dithiooctanoic acid) was isolated and characterized in 1951 in studies that showed that it was required for the growth of certain bacteria and protozoa. This accomplishment was one of the most impressive feats of isolation in the early history of biochemistry. Eli Lilly and Co., in cooperation with Lester J. Reed at the University of Texas and I. C. Gunsalus at the...

Sami Matar, Ph.D., is a retired professor of chemistry at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dharan, Saudi Arabia. He received a B.Sc. from the University of Cairo and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Matar has served as associate member of the board of the Egyptian Petroleum Institute and general manager of the chemical and research laboratories of Suez Oil Processing Co. The author and contributor to many articles and books. Dr. Matar is also a member of the American Chemical Society and Society of Petroleum Engineers. 

In recent years, many learning institutions felt the benefits of one or more technically-related courses such as petrochemicals in their chemistry and chemical engineering curricula. More than forty years ago, Lewis Hatch pioneered such an effort by offering a course in "Chemicals from Petroleum" at the University of Texas. Shortly thereafter, the ter... 

Rowland Pettit (1927-19811 was born in Port Lincoln, Australia. He received two doctoral degrees, one from the University of Adelaide in 1952 and the second from the University of London in 1956, working with Michael Dewar. He then became professor of chemistry at the University of Texas, Austin (1957-1981). 

Cyclo butadiene is highly reactive and shows none of the properties associated with aromaticity. In fact, it was not even prepared until 1965, when Rowland Pettit of the University of Texas was able to make it at low temperature. Even at —78 °C, however, cyclobutadiene is so reactive that it dimerizes by a Diels-Alder reaction. One molecule behaves as a diene and the other as a dienophile.

NEW A diagnostic test for the Fundamentals sections will allow instructors to determine how much their students understand and where they need additional support. Instructors can then make appropriate assignments from the Fundamentals sections. The test includes 5 to 10 problems for each Fundamentals section. The diagnostic test was created by Cynthia LaBrake of the University of Texas, Austin, and can be found on the Instructor s Resource CD-ROM and in the Instructor section of the Web site. 

The state of the synthetic art in this area, in 1979, is much more satisfactory. During the past decade, several new synthetic developments have occurred such that we are closer to the point where the limitations upon synthesis of trifluoromethyl compounds are related more to stability problems in isolated cases, and are not nearly so much due to lack of widely applicable synthetic techniques. We find ourselves, for example, in a position in 1979 where the germanium compound, Ge(CF3)4, which in the past decade, was considered by many workers to be of insufficient stability to permit isolation, has been prepared by four independent methods and is known to be stable to over 100°C. Many of these new synthetic techniques have emerged from studies conducted in our laboratory at the University of Texas and previously...
