Ronald Breslow (Co-Chair) is University Professor of Chemistry, Columbia University, and a founder of a new pharmaceutical company. He received his B.A. (1952), M.A. (1954), and Ph.D. (1955) from Harvard University. His research area is organic chemistry with specialization in biochemical model systems, biomimetic synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms, and aromaticity and antiaromaticity. He served as president of the American Chemical Society in 1996 and has authored a book for the general public, Chemistry Today and Tomorrow The Central, Useful, and Creative Science.

The next coenzyme for which a mechanism was established was thiamin pyrophosphate [3]. Ronald Breslow used nmr spectroscopy to show that the hydrogen atom at C-2 of a thiazolium salt rapidly exchanges with deuterium in even slightly alkaline solutions (6), so that the coenzyme offers an anionic centre for catalysis (Breslow, 1957). With this established, Breslow could confidently offer the pathway shown in Scheme 2 for the action of the...
