| Citation | Wilson, Forsyth James (Glasgow). D.Sc., Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry, Royal Technical college, Glasgow. Head of an active school of research in organic chemistry. Has published more than forty papers, largely concerned with the study of hydrozine derivatives (semicarbazides, thiosemicarbazides carbohydrazides, semioxamazides ) including the preparation of two different optically active semicarbazides and the resolution of benzoin by their means. Work on thiosemicarbazides led to the study of of thiazoles and the preparation of some of a new type including a dicyclic system. Other publications on stereoisomerism (C = C) type, on stereoisomeric semicarbazones (C = N) type, on a-nov-u-ephedrine, on ethyl esters and arylamides of b-arylamino-crotonic acids, on acridine derivatives, etc. |
