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.

期刊介绍： Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry. Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters. Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
