Mayo. Frank

Kharasch s earliest studies in this area were carried out in collab oration with graduate student Frank R Mayo Mayo performed over 400 experi ments in which allyl bromide (3 bromo 1 propene) was treated with hydrogen bromide under a variety of conditions and determined the distribution of the normal and abnormal products formed during the reaction What two prod ucts were formed Which is the product of addition in accordance with Markovmkovs rule Which one corresponds to addition opposite to the rule ... 

The author is grateful to David A. Jones and Dennis Schuetzle for their assistance in performing the experiments and to Frank R. Mayo for his helpful discussions.

Frank Mayo Is there any evidence in this system of attack on disulfides by hydroxyl ions, as suggested by Daneby and Hunter [/. Org. Chem. 32, 2047 (1967)] ... 

The alternating tendency in copolymeri/ation was established on a quantitative basis by Frank F<. Mayo (of the Stanford Research Institute) and Cheves Walling (of the University of Utah) while working in the laboratories of the U.S. Rubber Company. Their work was fundamental to the development of free radical chemistry it showed clearly for the first time the dependence of reactivity on the nature of the attacking free radical, and led directly to the concept of polar factors, working not only in copolymerization and other additions of free radicals, but in free radical reactions of all kinds. 

Of course, the polyethylene produced by the decomposition of diazomethane by von Pechmann, Bamberger and Tschirner in the 1890 s, by Meerwein and Burnelit in 1928, by Weile in 1938 and by Buckley, Cross and Ray in 1950 was linear polyethylene (HDPE). Likewise, the polyethylene produced by "Speed" Marvel in 1930 and by Frank Mayo in the 1940 s, who used coordination catalyst systems was HDPE but there was little interest in this polymer at that time. Actually, some chemists, including nobel laureate Hermann Staudinger maintained that it was not possible to pol5unerize ethylene. 

Frank Mayo, who will make some comments on Maurice Huggins biographical background and introduce the awardee,... 

Frank Mayo - I have been asked to make a few remarks on the life and times of Maurice Huggins. Since many of them are already printed in the program, my remarks will, therefore, be brief. 

Bailey, Moderator, Frank R. Mayo, Raymond B. Seymour and Naoya Ogata, after several planning sessions, helped Maury reminisce about his career which spanned over 60 years as a physical chemist, a polymer chemist, a chemistry professor, an industrial chemist, and a chemical consultant. The interview,which was recorded by Mrs. Barbara R. Hodsdon, proceeded as follows ... 

The key protagonist in the elucidation of the role of histamine and its clinical relevance in gastric secretion was Charlie Code. Code had grown up in Winnipeg and received an M.D. degree from the University of Manitoba in 1933. He worked at the Mayo Clinic with Frank AAann, then obtained support to study in London, where he first worked with Charles Lovatt Evans at the University College of London. In his further studies with Sir Henry Dale at the National Institutes for Medical Research, Code demonstrated that 70% to 100% of histamine in unclotted blood is in the white-cell layer, and that clotting liberates 60% to 90% of this into the serum. 

That ACS meeting is probably best remembered as the occasion when a large number of attendees came down with food poisoning from eating contaminated seafood at a now-defunct hotel in Swamscott. Fortunately I missed that celebration, but I spoke the next morning to a rather small audience. The interpretation was subsequently published in a review with Frank Mayo ( 3).
