Investigations of the FTS in small pilot plants at Bruceton was initially under the direction of Dr. J.H. Crowell, followed by Homer E. Benson in 1947 and Joseph H. Field in 1958. Benson and Field were major contributors to the development of the oil circulation and the hot-gas-recycle FTS processes, and the hot carbonate COp-scrubbing process. Martin D. Schlesinger studied the FTS in sflirry and fluidized-bed reactors. 

Methyl 3-C-allyl-4,6-0-benzylidene-3-deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside has been used as a common starting material for preparing annulated sugars involving intramolecular Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions. Thus successive reaction of the allyl derivative with osmium tetroxide, lithium dimethylmethylphosphonate, Dess-Martin periodane then potassium carbonate furnished 51. Whereas successive reaction of the allyl derivative with borane-THF, PCC oxidation, lithium dimethylmethylphosphonate, Dess-Martin periodane then potassium carbonate afforded 52. Analogous chemistry was also performed on methyl 2-C-allyl-4,6-0-benzylidene-2-deoxy-a-D-allopyranoside. ...

Muscone (40) is a sex pheromone of the musk deer and a chemical component of cosmetics. A 12-member library of racemic muscone analogs was synthesized by Nicolaou et al.," who anployed a cyclorelease method on solid support to form the macrocycle scaffold (Figure 11.17). A phosphonate-functionalized resin loaded on encoded SMART microreactors 36 was coupled to olelinic esters 35 to form the p-ketophosphonates 37. Sorting and cross olefin metathesis of 37 with two alkenols followed by oxidation with Dess-Martin reagent gave aldehydes 38. An intramolecular ketophosphonate-aldehyde condensation (Homer-Emmons-Wadsworth reaction) of 38 caused smooth cyclorelease of macrocyclic enones 39. Parallel solution-phase chemistry completed the sequence. 

The four American scientists who invented fluid catalytic cracking, Donald Campbell, Homer Martin, Eger Murphree, and Charles Tyson, had to wait almost eight years, from December, 1940, to October, 1948, for their U.S. Patent No. 2,451,804 to be granted after filing it. 

In 1942, Standard Oil of New Jersey (now ExxonMobil) commercialized the fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) process, which dramatically increased a refiner s ability to convert heavy gas oils into gasoline. The four inventors of this process, which still produces more than half of the world s gasoline, were Donald L. Campbell, Homer Z. Martin, Eger V. Murphree, and Charles W. Tyson. During 1942-45, several FCC-based refineries were built in the United States to produce automotive and aviation gasoline during World War II.
