	Robert Burns Woodward Biography \| scit_0712345_package.xml
		Robert Woodward was a Nobel Prize-winning chemist who developed numerous techniques for producing complex chemical compounds in the laboratory.
		Woodward was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1917.
		Woodward went on to synthesize many other stereospecific organic compounds, including cortisone (a human hormone), cholesterol, reserpine (a tranquilizing drug that was once obtained from the roots of certain tropical plants), chlorophyll, and cephalosporin C (an antibiotic).

	Robert Burns Woodward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Burns Woodward (April 10, 1917–July 8, 1979) was an American organic chemist.
		Woodward collected together a large amount of empirical data, and then devised a series of rules later called the Woodward rules, which could be applied to finding out the structures of new natural substances, as well as non-natural synthesized molecules.
		In the early 1950s, Woodward, along with a Harvard colleague, the British chemist Geoffrey Wilkinson, postulated a novel structure for ferrocene, a compound consisting of a combination of an organic molecule with iron.

		OBERT BURNS WOODWARD WAS the preeminent organic chemist of the twentieth century.
		Woodward now began what may be the most beautiful synthesis of his life, the synthesis (1956) of the medicinally important alkaloid reserpine.
		Woodward's conclusion that he would be able to use the porphyrin to chlorin transformation was the key to his synthesis but was not supported on the basis of any known change from a suitably constructed porphyrin molecule.

	Woodward, Robert Burns
		Woodward was attracted to chemistry at an early age and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1933.
		Woodward correlated the work of this project into a final deduction of structure (1945) and, during the next two decades, championed the development of several spectroscopic techniques, which have reduced the problem of structure determination to a relatively commonplace procedure.
		Woodward's achievements in the field of structure determination were more than mere solutions of particular problems: they were demonstrations of new approaches and reasoning that have guided others and increased the power of the discipline.

		Robert Burns Woodward (April 10, 1917 – July 8, 1979) was an American organic chemist, widely regarded as the preeminent organic chemist of the century.
		Woodward collected together a large amount of empirical data, and then devised a series of rules later called the Woodward rules, which could be applied to finding out the structures of new natural substances, as well as non-natural synthesized molecules.
		Woodward formulated his ideas (which were based on the symmetry properties of molecular orbitals) based on his experiences as a synthetic organic chemist; he asked Hoffman to perform theoretical calculations to verify these ideas, which were done using Hoffmann's Extended Hückel method.
