  Will ChrismanB.A., University of California, Santa Cruz (1997) E-Mail: chrisman@chem.ucsb.edu Current Research The focus of my research is the development of new conjunctive reagents for facilitating syntheses of retinoid antitumor agents. I am also involved in the further assessment of copper hydride as an inexpensive means of effecting catalytic 1,2-reductions of dialkyl ketones.
