Talk Classification Process

Organic chemists often place themselves into a subdiscipline to emphasize their main research interests and thereby call themselves a physical organic, polymer, total synthesis, synthetic methods, bioorganic, materials, natural products, medicinal, or process chemist. Early in the process of preparing this manuscript, we discussed trying to classify each of the NOS talks into a subdiscipline category as a way to examine the historical trends in organic chemistry with the idea that NOS speakers would be a representative sample of the most important research being done at the time. However, it was difficult to pigeonhole each talk into just one category because speakers deliberately cover several subdisciplines in an effort to appeal to a broad audience. For example, a talk might begin with synthetic methodology development that also describes studies on the reaction mechanism (physical organic chemistry). Then, the chemist might show the utility of the new methods by completing a total synthesis and perhaps even develop derivatives for medicinal purposes and a structure activity relationship study.

We would like to thank a reviewer for bringing this mode of analysis back to our attention as a valuable way to gauge how organic chemistry has changed over the past 88 years. We decided to classify the talks into one of seven categories (see Table S2) using the titles and, where possible, the abstracts of the talks. To accomplish the task, the authors each independently categorized all the talks by considering the perceived principal emphasis of the talk and the reputation of the chemist. This initial analysis resulted in 85% of the talks being assigned into the same category by both authors. After clarifying the category definitions and reexamining the discrepancies, 98% agreement was obtained. The remaining talks were then examined in more detail, including finding papers published by the speaker that corresponded to the research presented. For example, Albert Eschenmoser's 2003 talk entitled A Sentimental Journey: From the Biogenetic Isoprene Rule to the Chemical Etiology of Nucleic Acid Structure was difficult to pigeonhole because the "Biogenetic Isoprene Rule" is biosynthesis and in the natural products category, but the "Chemical Etiology…" portion of the talk is similar to Eschenmoser's 1997 NOS talk which is in the bioorganic category, and Eschenmoser is certainly also known for total synthesis, so that category must be considered. The talk also offered historical overview of his career, so history was possible as well; however, all of the Adams awardee talks tend to be somewhat historical so that misses the point. In this case, we ultimately settled on the bioorganic category. The classification process was not perfect and the appropriate category for several talks is subject to debate; however, the process allowed the shifting emphasis of organic chemistry to be analyzed in a systematic fashion, as demonstrated in Figure 11 in the paper.

Subdiscipline / Category Description PO Physical Organic Mechanistic work, all photochemistry, conformational analysis, theory, calculations Bioorganic / All enzymes (including those used for synthesis), biological testing of drugs, medicinal B Biochemistry / chemistry, glycobiology Chemical Biology Isolation and structure elucidation (including by spectroscopy), natural polymers, NP Natural Products biosynthesis. Does not include total synthesis of natural products. PM Polymers / Materials Synthesis of polymers, materials chemistry (including properties), devices, nanotechnology TS Total Synthesis The total synthesis of a target molecule, typically a natural product. Transition metal catalysts, organocatalysis, C-H activation, process chemistry. Does not SM Synthetic Methods include enzyme methods. Talks focused on history. Does not include Roger Adams Award Addresses that tend to H History of Chemistry have a historical career overview.

Academic NOS Lineage

Similar to having a traditional genealogical lineage, every chemist with a doctorate has an academic lineage traced through his or her mentor. The Ph.D. or D.Sc. advisor of 329 of the 331 NOS speakers has been determined and many the postdoctoral advisors were also identified (see above). Academic family trees based on the doctoral advisor have been constructed for the 13 largest families and are shown below. The James B. Conant34 tree has 38 chemists who have given 75 talks and is the largest family by a significant margin. The two largest branches of his tree come from his academic children Louis F. Fieser (5 children) and Paul D. Bartlett (6 children, Figure 11). The Conant tree has long lineages–the contiguous tree has three descendants at the sixth generation. Additionally, Erick Carreira is scheduled to talk at the 2013 NOS and this will complete an impressive seven-generation lineage of Conant-Feiser-Johnson-Ireland-Evans-Carreira-Du Bois, which will be the longest lineage of any NOS family tree. The Conant tree also has the best average number of talks for the top 5 individuals, with 5.20 talks/person. Robert B. Woodward’s35 tree is the next largest with 31 chemists and 59 talks. The most noteworthy aspect of this tree is Woodward’s seven NOS children, which is a record that he shares with Roger Adams and E. J. Corey. Two additional Woodward academic children, William R. Roush and Lawrence Scott, are scheduled to speak at the 2013 NOS. In general, the Woodward tree is much broader than it is deep, with only four contiguous generations. The largest branch of the tree is the Ronald Breslow branch (5 children). The Woodward tree, with four female members, has over one-quarter of all of the female NOS speakers and is the only family with more than one woman. The Woodward tree could have been constructed as a James Flack Norris tree, as he was Woodward’s academic grandfather and spoke at the NOS. However, Woodward’s academic father was Avery A. Ashdown who did not speak at the NOS. Furthermore, although Ashdown is considered by most to be Woodward’s Ph.D. advisor, others say he was his own advisor. Ashdown is not acknowledged in Woodward’s dissertation, but Norris and Avery A. Morton (another Norris student) are. For these reasons, and Woodward’s extraordinary number of NOS academic children, we believe it is more appropriate to classify this as a Woodward tree. The Roger Adams36 tree has 24 chemists who have given 55 talks and for an average of 2.29 talks/person, the second highest average among all the families. The Gilbert Stork branch of the tree is the largest (5 grandchildren). The Adams tree is also relatively old; i.e., Adams descendants were dominant in the Genesis Era and prevalent during the Cold War Era, but only 6 of the 24 members have given talks in the Modern Era. The William von Eggers Doering branch (5 children) is the largest in the Reginald P. Linstead37 tree. The tree also is noteworthy for its depth, with a six-generation lineage of Linstead-Doering-Berson-Dervan-Schultz for the first five generations and then Shokat, Hsieh-Wilson, and Liu as Schultz children. William Dauben and his children Dale Poulter and Jeff Seeman are included on the Linstead tree as well as the Conant tree (vide supra). Linstead was Dauben’s first advisor and Feiser became Dauben’s advisor after Linstead left Harvard. The Moses Gomberg38 tree contains 19 chemists who have given 30 talks. E. J. Corey’s eight talks and his seven children and two grandchildren anchor this tree. The Barry M. Trost branch is the largest in the Reynold C. Fuson39 tree. The William G. Young40 tree has 7 chemists who have given 15 talks, 40% of which were given by John D. Roberts. The longest contiguous lineages in the Fuson and Young trees are four-generations long. The eighth largest tree is that of William Lloyd Evans.41 This tree has 6 chemists who have given 14 talks – 43% of them were by Homer B. Adkins of Wisconsin. This tree has the highest average talks per person at 2.60. The next five largest trees are those of Marston T. Bogert42 (5 chemists, 10 talks, 3 generations), Rudolph J. Anderson43 (5, 9, 3), Peter Yates44 (4, 8, 4), Morris S. Kharasch45 (4, 7, 3), and Carl S. Marvel46 (4, 7, 2). The top 13 trees account for 53% of all NOS speakers and 61% of all NOS talks.
