Submission declined on 22 March 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Christian Rojas
editChristian Rojas is an American Chemist and teaching professor at Barnard College, a liberal arts college affiliated with Columbia University in New York City, New York. Within Barnard's Department of Chemistry, Professor Rojas specializes in teaching introductory courses in organic chemistry[1].
In addition to his role as an educator, Professor Rojas is involved in organic chemistry research. Professor Rojas's research focuses on the chemical applications of nitrogen in organic compounds, with a particular emphasis on the synthesis of amino sugars using nitrogen.[1]. His contributions have been published in scientific journals such as Journal of Organic Chemistry and Chemistry Letters.[2]
Early Career
editChristian Rojas began his academic career at the University of Virginia, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction. During his undergraduate studies, became involved in research projects, collaborating with faculty members such as Ralph O. Allen on studies involving neutron activation analysis of archaeological artifacts. Following his undergraduate studies, Rojas pursued doctoral studies in organic chemistry at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where he earned his Doctor of Philosophy.[3]
Subsequently, Professor Rojas undertook his postdoctoral fellowship with Julius Rebek at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Scripps Research Institute. There Rojas finished his National Institute of Health Postdoctoral Fellowship[3] In 1997, Christian Rojas joined the faculty at Barnard College, where he has remained till present as a teaching and research professor.
Published Career
editRojas served as the primary editor and as a contributing author of the textbook "Molecular Rearrangements in Organic Synthesis" published in 2016.[4] Additionally Rojas was a contributing author for "Name Reactions for Homologation, Part 2" published in 2009. (INSERT SOURCE)
Professor Rojas first publication was "Photo amidoglycosylation of an Allal Azidoformate. Synthesis of beta-2-Amido Allopyranosides" in 2001 in the Journal of Organic Chemistry. His most recent publication was "Glycal Metallanitrenes for 2-Amino Sugar Synthesis: Amidoglycosylation of Gulal-, Allal-, Glucal-, and Galactal 3-Carbamates" in the Journal of Organic Chemistry in 2018.[5]
Rojas' current research supported by a National Institutes of Health grant is "Construction and Union of 2-Amino Sugar Building Blocks". His study is focused on synthesizing amino sugars and reactions involving nitrogen atom transfer[1].
