Marshall,, was bora in Denton, Texas, on May 19, 1940. After gaining his elementary education in this city, his family moved to Decatur,. Alabama, in June 1952» where he attended Decatur High School. In September 1958, he entered Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina, on a Proctor and Gamble Scholarship. After two years he transferred to Indiana University, Blooming ton, Indiana, where-he received his B.S. in chemistry in June 1962. The following September he entered the Graduate School of The Ohio State University. In March 1963 > he married Julia Clark Bechtel of Niles, Michigan. The following appointments were held: 1962-1963 N.S.F. Cooperative Fellowship 1964-1965 " '* " 1965-1966 " " " I 963.-I964 Petroleum Research Foundation Fellowship In June 1966, he received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from The Ohio State University. iii CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS............................................................................................... i i VITA......................................................................................................................... i i i TABLES ............................................................................................................... ^ ILLUSTRATIONS ................................................................................................... x i INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................... 1 PART I .
