How can social media help you find job opportunities?
Leveraging social media for job hunting is a strategic approach to career advancement. It involves creating a professional online presence, actively participating in industry-related discussions, and connecting with potential employers and peers in your field. Platforms like LinkedIn are pivotal; optimizing your profile with relevant skills, experiences, and accomplishments can attract recruiters. Additionally, engaging with companies' posts and sharing insights showcases your knowledge and interest. Social media is a two-way street; as you project your professional image and expertise, it also provides insights into companies’ cultures and values, helping you find a match aligned with your career goals and values.

How do you increase your order value and revenue?
Fostering customer engagement is vital for building profound, enduring relationships with customers. It revolves around crafting values and experiences that resonate emotionally, creating a communal sense around the brand, and interacting genuinely through various platforms like social media. Success in engagement means customers are more likely to be brand loyalists and advocates. This involves offering more than just transactions; it's about delivering pertinent content, personalized experiences, and creating avenues for customers to connect. Prioritizing engagement enhances brand loyalty, extends brand reach through advocacy, and fuels sustainable growth. Every interaction should aim to form lasting, meaningful connections.

Synthesis of resveratrol using Pd-catalyzed bond formation
American Chemical Society National Meeting
Resveratrol has received much interest in the popular press recently due to its positive biological activity including its use as an anticancer compound, an anti-obesity compound, antioxidant, and potential preventer of cardiovascular disease. The current synthetic routes utilizing Wittig chemistry or Grignard addition are efficient but are not stereospecific as both the cis and trans isomers are formed.

Resveratrol has received much interest in the popular press recently due to its positive biological activity including its use as an anticancer compound, an anti-obesity compound, antioxidant, and potential preventer of cardiovascular disease. The current synthetic routes utilizing Wittig chemistry or Grignard addition are efficient but are not stereospecific as both the cis and trans isomers are formed. The preparation of an arylacetylene from the corresponding aldehyde via Corey-Fuchs methodology followed by elimination and Sonogashira coupling of the resulting alkyne to an aryl halide would lead to dehydroresveratrol. Stereoselective reduction (hydrogenation on Lindlar's catalyst or metal-ammonia reduction) would give rise individually to each of the possible stereoisomers.
