A brief encounter on steroids between Robinson and Woodward in 1951
- Abstract:
- A supposed apocryphal encounter between Robert Robinson and R. B. Woodward was found to be confirmed in Sir Robert's handwritten memoirs. The current article examines what lay behind this strained meeting of two of the greatest protagonists of organic chemistry from the last century, and its aftermath in the context of what became a race to publish the first total synthesis of a non-aromatic steroid.
