11/10-21 の二週間は化学生態学実験 III が開講されました．今年度の受講生は 31 名でした．GC/MS があまりうまくいかずに少々手こずりましたが，その他は TA の学生さんたちのおかげでほぼ順調に実施することができました．
11/12 のセミナーでの文献紹介の担当は化学生態学研究室修士課程一年の藤原さんで，紹介した論文は Nakabayashi, R. et al. Enhancement of oxidative and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by overaccumulation of antioxidant flavonoids. Plant J. 77, 367-379 (2014) でした．シロイヌナズナにおけるフラボノイドの蓄積と酸化および乾燥ストレス耐性の関係についての報告でした．
11/19 のセミナーでの文献紹介の担当は修士課程一年の渡辺さんで，紹介した論文は Furutachi, M., Kumagai, N., Watanabe, T. & Shibasaki, M. Chromatography-free synthesis of Corey’s intermediate for Tamiflu. Tetrahedron 70, 9113-9117 (2014) でした．タミフル合成中間体のクロマトグラフィーによる分離を用いない合成法についての報告でした．
