Three recovery endpoints are studied: (1) restoring drinking water systems to normal operations, (2) returning children to school, and (3) returning businesses to normal operations. Interviews were conducted with individuals in seven communities who led recovery efforts between 2011 and 2019. The primary goal was to identify and document the sequence and duration of activities that would have delayed key recovery milestones if they had started later or taken longer to complete. Within each function, intermediate milestones are also identified, for example, students returning to school in temporary modules or the partial reopening of a business. Master tables for water, schools, and business are developed that summarize the activities on the critical paths identified in each community. Several opportunities to speed up the recovery process are identified, and issues relevant to the modeling of community recovery are discussed.

All organotin reagents are commercially available. Organic solutions were concentrated by rotary evaporation (house vacuum, ~25 Torr) at 23-30 °C. Flash column chromatography was performed by employing silica gel (60-Å pore size, 230-400 mesh, standard grade). Analytical thin layer chromatography was performed using aluminum plates pre-coated with silica gel (0.25 mm, 60-Å pore size, 230-400 mesh, Merck KGA) impregnated with a fluorescent indicator (254 mm). TLC plates were visualized by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) and/or exposure to phosphmolybdic acid (PMA) S2 followed by brief heating on a hot plate. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H NMR) spectra and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13 C NMR) were recorded with Varian Mercury 400 (400 MHz / 100 MHz) NMR spectrometers. Chemical shifts for protons are reported in parts per million scale (δ scale) and internally referenced to tetramethylsilane signal. Chemical shifts for carbon are reported in parts per million (δ scale) and referenced to the carbon resonances of the solvent (CDCl 3 : δ 77.36, the middle peak). Data are represented as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, dd = double doublet, dt = double triplet, td = triple doublet), coupling constant in Hz, and integration. Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer FT-IR Spectrometer. High resolution mass spectra were obtained at the Mass Spectrometry Facilities of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Microwave reaction was performed using a Discover®LabMate TM in a 20 mL septumcapped vial with stirring, at 100 W. The temperature reported is the maximum temperature the sample reached, and the time reported includes the time required to reach the target temperature. Samples were cooled using 40 psi pressurized air.

From the viewpoint of the practicality of these types of reactions in laboratory synthesis and industrial applications, tremendous challenges lie ahead in controlling selectivity and identifying inexpensive oxidants and metal catalysts. In light of the remarkable progress made in the development of Cu-catalyzed C-heteroatom bond forming reactions that were previously catalyzed predominantly by Pd II catalysts, 3 we turned our attention to Cu-catalyzed C-H functionalization reactions. H-abstraction of allylic C-H bonds using Cu(I)/tert-butyl hydroperoxide has been successfully exploited in peroxidation 4 and alkylation reactions. 5 Since the pyridyl group has been extensively used to direct C-H activation reactions, 1,6 we launched our effort to develop C-H functionalization reactions directed by a pyridyl group (Py) using Cu(II) catalysts. Herein, we report a Cu(II)-catalyzed acetoxylation and halogenation of aryl C-H bonds. This newly discovered reaction is also shown to be applicable to cyanation, amination, etherification, and thioetherification of C-H bonds.

However, these studies do not provide a full representation of the economic value of these habitats. Protected coastal environments, such as the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), add jobs and revenue to their local communities. Institutions such as NERRS provide economic contributions that extend beyond their operational spending and jobs they provide. Spending by reserves and their partners ripples throughout the economy. We performed an economic contribution analysis at four pilot sites using input-output modeling through IMPLAN. Sites contributed millions in revenue and tens to hundreds of jobs in their respective regions. Each of the four sites had a different category of spending that was the largest contributor of revenue and jobs, which is likely due to the community context and location of the reserves.
