 The Dieringer Clan
His grandson, Ernst Friedrich von Doering, was the Royal Polish and Saxon Justice Advisor and later became the Privy-Councillor and Chancellor of the college at Naumburg.
Among the settlers with the name Doering was Franz Doering, who settled in Yorktown, Virginia, in 1778 at the age of 30.
Notable members of the surname Doering in this period include Johann Christoph Doering, who was responsible for the ennoblement of the family in Sweden in 1719.

Now, Goldsmith and Eggers, two of America's most innovative policy thinkers, show how the networking trend is transforming government.
"In Governing by Network, Goldsmith and Eggers answer one of the most important public policy questions of our time: how public officials can achieve results and ensure accountability to citizens in an age in which government relies more and more on partners to do the public’s business.
Goldsmith and Eggers provide a clear and lively guide to the new terrain, offering concrete advice to public sector managers and elected officials on how to grapple with performance and accountability challenges."

Aided by the G.I. Bill, he remained at Columbia, working on a solvolysis problem under William von Eggers Doering and earning his M.A. (1950) and Ph.D. (1952) degrees.
Streitwieser completed his undergraduate education at Columbia College in three and a half years (1945-1948), which included a year and a half in the U.S. Army.

 MSU Chemistry - Genealogy Debates
In the case of my academic grandfather, William von Eggers Doering, for whom the "debate" is whether he studied with Linstead or Woodward, it's pretty straightforward and the answer, as you correctly show, is Reginald Patrick Linstead.
The Woodward confusion apparently comes from the fact that "everyone" organic knows of Doering and Woodward's early work, a formal total synthesis of the natural product quinine (a dramatic tour de force at the time which, in fact, has come under fire in the last few years).
I know Doering reasonably well, and have personally attended a retrospective talk he gave on the occasion of his 80th birthday in which he referred to his Ph.D. advisor as Linstead.

His whole career was spent at Harvard where, starting as a postdoctoral fellow in 1937, he became Morris Loeb Professor of Chemistry in 1953.
Woodward and his school later succeeded in synthesizing an impressive number of molecules, many of which are important far beyond the field of chemistry.
This was an historic moment for it was the quinine molecule that William Perkin had first, somewhat prematurely, attempted to synthesize in 1855.

 Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Woodward began his triumphs in synthesis when he and his American colleague, William von Eggers Doering (1917-?), synthesized quinine in 1944.
Insufficient understanding of molecular structure hampered the organic chemists of the mid-nineteenth century, but such was the irresistible progress of the science that in at least one significant episode even this shortcoming actually turned out to be an advantage.
At the time (the 1840's) there were few organic chemists of note in Great Britain, and August Wilhelm von Hofmann (1818-1892), who had worked under Liebig, was imported to London from Germany.

On April 10, 1944, Dr. Robert Burns Woodward and Dr. William von Eggers Doering, at Harvard University, produced synthetic quinine.
Quinine, isolated in 1820 by J.B. Caventou and P.J. Pelletier, is a white crystalline alkaloid derived from the bark of several species of trees.
It was also used to alleviate fever and pain and induce uterine contractions during labor.

 Genealogy - Gordon W. Gribble Research Group
The following information was gathered by Frank Switzer and further augmented by William von Eggers Doering.
**Professor Doering notes: "One of the almost insurmountable difficulties in tracing such a chemical genealogy with any kind of pedagogical integrity stems from the old European system of institutes: all graduates ostensibly obtained their degree from the Herr Director, who was often at best only slightly acquainted with the recipient!
This lineage extends back to the following scientific pioneers: Adolph Von Baeyer (1835-1917), Friedrich August von Stradonitz Kekulé (1829-1896), Pierre Eugene Marcelin Berthelot, (1827-1907), Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, (1778-1850), Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794).
