    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ROBERT BURNS WOODWARD 1917–1979 A Biographical Memoir by ELKAN BLOUT Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 80 PUBLISHED 2001 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. ROBERT BURNS WOODWARD April 10, 1917–July 8, 1979 BY ELKAN BLOUT OBERT BURNS WOODWARD was the preeminent organic chemist Rof the twentieth century. This opinion is shared by his colleagues, students, and by other distinguished chemists. Bob Woodward was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and was an only child. His father died when Bob was less than two years old, and his mother had to work hard to support her son. His early education was in the Quincy, Massachusetts, public schools. During this period he was allowed to skip three years, thus enabling him to finish grammar and high schools in nine years. In 1933 at the age of 16, Bob Woodward enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study chemistry, although he also had interests at that time in mathematics, literature, and architecture. His unusual talents were soon apparent to the MIT faculty, and his needs for individual study and intensive effort were met and encouraged. Bob did not disappoint his MIT teachers. He received his B.S. degree in 1936 and completed his doctorate in the spring of 1937, at which time he was only 20 years of age. Immediately following his graduation Bob taught summer school at the University of Illinois, but then returned to Harvard’s Department of Chemistry to start a productive period with an assistantship under Professor E.

  • Biographical Memoirs
    National Academy of Sciences - Biographical Memoirs http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/online-collection.html By Michael P. Filosa Flack Norris (1871-1940) for the November Nucleus, I came across his biographical memoir on the website of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). This memoir was written by John D. Roberts and was presented to the Academy in 1974, a scant(!) 34 years after his death. The NAS was founded in 1863 by 50 of the most prominent scientists in the United States, and its initial charter was signed by Abraham Lincoln. It is a tradition that each of its members be memorialized in a memoir to the Academy written by a peer (or two). These memoirs are a treasure trove of the history of science. The sole weakness is that they are posthumous and not necessarily, very timely. However, they are quite thorough and a good overview of the scientists, complete with a detailed listing of their major works. During my school years, I was always intrigued with stories about great scientists. Dan Kemp would talk extensively about his thesis advisor, R. B. Woodward, and his works. Those stories about Woodward (1917-1979) and also Gilbert Stork were very influential in my decision to pursue synthetic organic chemistry as a career. Woodward’s memoir was written by Elkan Blout (with assistance from Frank Westheimer) and was published in 2001, a “scant” 22 years after his death. The memoirs are often glowing: “Robert Burns Woodward was the preeminent organic chemist of the twentieth century. This opinion is shared by his colleagues, students and by other distinguished chemists.” Blout includes lengthy commentaries from Sir Derek Barton, Roald Hoffman and Albert Eschenmoser in the memoir.

  • Gilbert Stork: Organic Chemist and Teacher (1921–2017)
    GENERAL ARTICLE Gilbert Stork: Organic Chemist and Teacher (1921–2017) Vijay Nair Professor Gilbert Stork, the organic chemist and teacher par excellence, passed away on 21 October 2017. His departure marked the end of a hallowed era of classical organic syn- thesis. His extraordinary scholarship in organic chemistry, originality, and human qualities such as humility, kindness, warmth and concern for students, and humanity in general, sets him a class apart. Gilbert Stork was born in Brussels, Belgium, on 31 December Vijay Nair is Honorary 1921. Shortly thereafter, his family moved to Paris, where he had Scientist and Raja Ramanna his early education. In 1939, in the nick of time, they moved to the Fellow (DST) at United States. He obtained his BS from the University of Florida CSIR-National Institute for in 1942 and PhD from the University of Wisconsin in 1945. In Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, Trivandrum.

Within a Laboratory, Trivandrum. His short span of joining Columbia, with his vision and persuasion, he group works on major areas of organic synthesis viz., accomplished the mission of building up a top of the line, student cycloadditions of o-quinones, and faculty-friendly organic chemistry division.
