The phenomenon of thermal transpiration was discovered by Osborne Reynolds [82], who gave a clear and detailed description of his experiments, together with a theoretical analysis, in a long memoir read before the Royal Society in February of 1879. He experimented with porous plates of stucco, ceramic and meerschaum and, in the absence of pressure gradients, found that gas passes through the plates from the colder to the hotter side. His experimental findings were summarized in the following "laws" of thermal transpiration. 

This point was taken up by Reynolds in a letter addressed to G. G. Stokes, in the latter s capacity as Secretary of the Royal Society [83]. Reynolds pointed out that Maxwell s theory evaluated the effects of thermal transpiration only in circumstances where they were too small to be measured, and complained that Maxwell had misrepresented his own theoretical treat ment of the phenomenon. However, this incipient controversy never developed...

A valuable report, oontaining many references to cognate literature, is given In The Origins and Prevention oj Laboratory Accidents, 1949 (Royal Institute of Chemistry, London, W.C. 1). See also Guide for Safety in the Chemical Laboratory, 1966 (Van Nostrand Macmillan). 

Whereas most chemists focused their attention on speculation about atoms and the question of atomic weights, the constant multiplicity in compounds occupied an increasingly central role. The new concept of substitution, i.e., the replacement of one element by another in a compound, started to make a major impact on chemistry in the 1840s. It was probably Dumas, who in the 1830s at the request of his father-in-law (who was the director of the famous Royal Sevres porcelain factory) resolved an event that upset a royal dinner party at the Tuil-... 

Nobel lecture, Stockholm, December 1994, with Professor Fredga, President, Royal Swedish Academy of Science... 

The Nobel banquet in the Blue Hall of the Stockholm City Hall is traditionally attended, in addition to the Swedish Royal Family, by... 

At the end of the banquet, we ascended the stairs to the Gold Room, where there was dancing till the early hours of the next day. Judy and 1 were, however, too exhausted after the long day, and after some private time with our Royal hosts we returned (or shall 1 say floated back) to our hotel. 

The next day, Sunday the 11th, the Royal couple gave a dinner in their palace for the laureates and some 200 guests as a conclusion of the Nobel week. The austere, impressive palace 1 was told by the Queen is not suited to bringing up a family and they use it only for formal entertainment. 

During the week in Stockholm I also visited the University of Stockholm and the Royal Technological Institute. Subsequently, I also visited and lectured at Uppsala University and the Universities of Gothenburg and Lund. We were received everywhere with great friendship and hospitality, ending our most memorable trip in Copenhagen, from where we flew home. It was time to come back down to earth from the skies and resume our life.

The telomer 137, obtained by the reaction of butadiene with malonate, is a suitable compound for the syntheses of naturally occurring dodecanoic acid derivatives, such as queen substance (I38)[l 7], one of the royal jelly acids (139)[I18], and pellitorine fl40)[ll9]. 

The 3.8-nonadienoate 91, obtained by dimerization-carbonylation, has been converted into several natural products. The synthesis of brevicomin is described in Chapter 3, Section 2.3. Another royal jelly acid [2-decenedioic acid (149)] was prepared by cobalt carbonyl-catalyzed carbonylation of the terminal double bond, followed by isomerization of the double bond to the conjugated position to afford 149[122], Hexadecane-2,15-dione (150) can be prepared by Pd-catalyzed oxidation of the terminal double bond, hydrogenation of the internal double bond, and coupling by Kolbe electrolysis. Aldol condensation mediated by an organoaluminum reagent gave the unsaturated cyclic ketone 151 in 65% yield. Finally, the reduction of 151 afforded muscone (152)[123]. n-Octanol is produced commercially as described beforc[32].
