| Citation | Freeland Professor of Chemistry, The Royal Technical College, Glasgow. Distinguished for his researches in many field of organic chemistry. He has made major contributions to our knowledge of the sterols, with particular reference to the structures of ergosterol and vitamin-D2. Further, over eighteen years he has carried out important systematic work on the triterpene resinols and related acids. He has also applied himself to a study of a variety of heterocyclic systems, including the elaboration of new syntheses of pyrazine and purine derivatives. This phase of his work has been to a large extent in support of his notable contributions to the chemistry of antibiotics, especially of aspergillic acid, gliotoxin and cordycepin. A list of 128 publications is attached. |
