S HEEHAN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1991 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ARTHUR CLAY COPE June 27, 1909-June 4, 1966 BY JOHN D. ROBERTS AND JOHN C. SHEEHAN RTHUR CLAY COPE, an extraordinarily influential and Aimaginative organic chemist, was born on June 27, 1909, and died on June 4, 1966. He was the son of Everett Claire Cope and Jennie (Compton) Cope, who lived in Dunreith, Indiana, but later moved to Indianapolis to enhance their son's educational possibilities. Everett Cope was in the grain storage business and his wife worked for some time at the local YWCA office. In 1929 Arthur received the bachelor's degree in chem- istry from Butler University in Indianapolis, then, with the support of a teaching assistantship, moved to the University of Wisconsin for graduate work. His thesis advisor at Wisconsin was S. M. McElvain, whose research program included the synthesis of organic com- pounds with possible pharmaceutical uses—especially local anesthetics and barbiturates. Cope's thesis work, completed in 1932, was along these lines. It led to the discovery of a useful local anesthetic and provided the major theme of his research for many years. Cope clearly made a strong impression at Wisconsin dur- ing his graduate career. He completed his thesis work and three independent publications in three years and was rec- ommended by the Wisconsin organic chemistry faculty (then 17 18 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS headed by the redoubtable Homer Adkins) for one of the highly sought-after National Research Council Fellowships at Harvard.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 241. 99 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0136-5. The work presented herein describes the utilization and exploration of palladium-mediated incorporations of carbon monoxide and/or [11C]carbon monoxide into compounds and structural motifs with biological relevance. The first part of the thesis describes the design, synthesis and 11C-labeling of prospective PET tracers for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), a target affected in several neurodegenerative diseases. Different parts of the benzovesamicol scaffold were modified in papers I and II to probe the binding to VAChT. The key motif was an amide functional group, which enabled the use of palladium-mediated 11C/12C-carbonylations to synthesize and evaluate two different sets of structurally related ligands. The second part of the thesis describes the exploration of different aspects of palladium- mediated 11C/12C-carbonylation reactions.

    Chapter 2 Professional Devotion, National Needs, Fascist Claims, and Democratic Virtues The Language of Science Policy in Germany Désirée Schauz and Gregor Lax ላሌ In the second half of the twentieth century, “basic an d applied research” be- came predominant and internationally acknowledged key concepts of science policy. Modern antonyms such as “pure and applied science” or “basic and applied research” spread across borders. However, the uses of these concepts, their discursive functions, and their ascriptions varied according to divergent national settings. This chapter is interested in the German particularities of the discourses revolving around these terms. What is special about the Ger- man concepts of Grundlagenforschung (basic research) and angewandte For- schung (applied research)? What did German scientists, politicians, and other experts mean when they used these terms? How did the concepts aff ect re- search policy and the overall understanding of science? In the nineteenth century, Germany became a role model for leading science nations. The institutionalization of the natural sciences at German universities from the early nineteenth century onward was a success story. Experimental training and research units at German universities attracted more and more international students, particularly in chemistry and physics. One key to this successful professionalization lay in the fact that nineteenth- century natural scientists wholeheartedly embraced the academic ideal of This open access library edition is supported by the University of Bonn.

    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography. 8703618 Stokes, Raymond George RECOVERY AND RESURGENCE IN THE WEST GERMAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY: ALLIED POLICY AND THE I.G.
