To Give Talk
On Advances
In Synthesis,
Prof. Robert Woodward, of Har-
vard University, willdeliver the
fourth annual Werner Bachmann
Memorial Lecture in chemistry at
4:10 p.m. tomorrow in the Natural
Science Aud.
His topic, "Recent Advances in
the. Chemistry of Natural Prod-
ucts," is becoming a virtual tradi-
tion for the chemist whose work
in the laboratory synthesis.of nat-
urally occurring substances is well
known among the world's chem-
fists.
Prof. Woodward prefers to re-
veal the exact subject of his talks
at the last minute and they most
often involve the new synthesis or
structure determination- of a nat-
ural product.
His familiarity with the field is
first hand. Such widely-known
products as quinine, reserpine,
strychnine, cholesterol and corti-
zone are among the many sub-
stances he has been the first to
synthesize.
Builds Substances
The process of synthesis in-
volves the building of complex
substances from laboratory chem-
icals in order to supplement the
supply that can be obtained from
natural products.
Prof. Woodward, for example,
discovered a laboratory process to
"make" reserpine, a basic drug in
a number of tranquilizers. Before
his work, the chemical could -only
be obtained by extracting it from
plants of the Rauwolfia family.
Prof. Woodward's "stock in
trade," University chemists re-
port, "has been a detailed under-
standing of the mode of action-of
reagents used in synthesis." He
has thus achieved "amazing" re-
sults in choosing a specific reagent
to direct the atoms of the' mole-
cule under study.
Gives Control
This gives him a high degree of
control over the reacting sub-
stances in his work.
Born in Bostonin 1917, he re-
ceived his bachelor of science de-
gree from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology in 1936 and his
doctorate there in 1937.
Prof. Woodward joied the
Harvard faculty in 1947 and since
1953 has served as the Loeb Pro-
fessor of Chemistry.
His speech here is part of a lec-
ture series sponsored by the Uni-
versity in honor of the late Prof.
Werner Bachmann of the chem-
istry department who was one of
the world's leading chemists until
his death in 1951.
Prof. Bachmann's work dealt to
a great extent with large free
radicals, the fundamental parts of
a compound, and his findings up-
set some widely-accepted theories
of the time.
