  • John D. Roberts
    John D. (Jack) Roberts 1918 – 2016 John D. Roberts, the Institute Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus, and one of the most influential chemists of the 20th century, passed away on October 29, 2016 at the age of 98 following a stroke. John Dombrowski “Jack” Roberts was born on June 8, 1918 in Los Angeles, California. He spent most of his 98 years in Southern California and witnessed first hand its transformation from a reasonably under- populated region into one of the world’s busiest metropolitan areas. In fact, Jack (or “JDR” as he was oft referred in the labs at Caltech) was born essentially right underneath what is now the famous four level interchange connecting the 101 and 110 freeways in modern day downtown LA. JDR also witnessed the growth and explosion of science and in particular chemistry over that century span. As summarized in his J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 4897-4917 article and numerous talks over the later part of his life, the explosion of instrumentation capabilities available to the organic chemist progressed in the course of his scientific career from no less than the melting point apparatus to some of the most advanced instruments on the planet. Without doubt, the advances most influential to JDR’s monumental career in chemistry were the advent of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and the accompanying explosion in computing. Combined, these tools greatly facilitated the insightfully designed experimentation and careful analyses that became the hallmark of JDR’s career. It is clear that Jack’s thoroughgoing nature combined with his deep understanding of instrumentation and fundamental chemistry served as an inspiration to nearly four generations of scientists.
