		Dr. Knowles was a long-time employee of Monsanto and is receiving the Nobel Prize for scientific breakthroughs achieved while working for Monsanto in 1968.
		Dr. Knowles was a recipient of the highest honors Monsanto bestows on its scientists for their contributions to science and technology.
		Knowles, Vineyard and Sabacky are also Monsanto Fellows, a program that recognizes and rewards scientists for breakthroughs and encourages continued contributions in their areas of expertise.

	10 Oct History: This Date
		Knowles exchanged the non-chiral phosphine triphenylphosphine in A to the chiral phosphine B and obtained a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation.
		Knowles' hypothesis was that it might be possible to produce a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation if the triphenylphosphine groups in Osborn and Wilkinson's metal complex (A) was replaced by one of the enantiomers of a chiral phosphine.
		Knowles' aim was to develop an industrial synthesis of the amino acid L-DOPA, which had proved useful in the treatment of Parkinson's disease — a discovery for which A. Carlsson was awarded last year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

	C&EN: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY - WILLIAM WHO?
		"William Who?" Some chemists might be forgiven for asking that question several weeks ago when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Monsanto retiree William S. Knowles; chemistry professor Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University, in Japan; and chemistry professor K.
		Knowles has been less well known than the other two new chemistry laureates, Jacobsen explains, "partly because he worked in industry and partly because the work that he did is now 30 years old.
		At Monsanto, Knowles had specialized in exploratory process development on organic chemicals and intermediates, including fine chemicals and plasticizers, but after the postdoc with Woodward, he began a program on the total synthesis of steroids.

	Andover Bulletin - Fall 2002 - William S. Knowles
		William S. Knowles ’35, above left, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in October 2001.
		Three scientists shared the $1 million prize: Knowles and Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University in Japan for their work on chirally catalyzed hydrogenation reactions and K. Barry Sharpless of the Scripps Research Institute in California for his work on chirally catalysed oxidation reactions.
		Specifically, Knowles’ work in using transition metals to make chiral catalysts for an important type of reaction called hydrogenation pioneered an industrial process for the production of the drug L-DOPA, which is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

	Association of Flight Attendants, AFL-CIO v. Horizon Air Industries, Inc.
		This Court reversed the district court' s granting of summary judgment, finding that although Fennessy' s grievance had been submitted to the Board, his complaint stated an independent statutory claim under Section 152, Fourth, which could be brought directly to district court.
		Moreover, the facts of this case support the district court' s conclusion that the issue presented by AFA is a minor dispute because Horizon' s policy is "arguably justified" under the existing AFA-Horizon CBA.
		The district court properly concluded that the dispute concerning AFA' s members' rights to wear AFA union pins fell within the AFA-Horizon CBA and was a matter for arbitration rather than district court litigation.

		Knowles, who retired from Monsanto in 1986 after 44 years with the company, shares the prize with another American and a Japanese scientist for discoveries now used to make various medicines, including antibiotics, heart drugs and a widely used treatment for Parkinson's disease.
		Knowles and Ryoji Noyori, 63, of Nagoya University in Japan shared half of the $943,000 award.
		Born in 1917 in Taunton, Mass., and reared in New Bedford, Knowles even as a young child wanted to be a scientist and made it happen, getting a chemistry degree from Harvard in 1939, then a graduate degree in the field from Columbia three years later.
