University College, Sheffield

University College, Sheffield, was formed in 1897 by the merger of Firth College, Sheffield Technical School, and Sheffield School of Medicine.71 University College, Sheffield, had applied to join Victoria University, but the request was rebuffed.72 Upon the breakup of Victoria University, Sheffield had proposed a... 

Women students had been admitted since 1886 by the antecedent institutions of University College, Sheffield.72 Yet, as elsewhere, co-education did not necessarily imply that women students were accepted as equals. Attitudes towards the women chemistry students at Sheffield seem to have evolved from bemusement by their male colleagues in the early years through to hostility as the 20th century progressed.

The Chemistry Department of the University of Sheffield was one of the major participants in organic synthesis (see Chap. 5). William Palmer Wynne assembled a team of six women chemists, including Emily Turner, Dorothy Bennett, and Annie Mathews, to synthesise P-eucaine.15 However, the most noteworthy production was that at Imperial College, in the group run by Martha Whiteley (see Chap. 3).16 Whiteley s seven assistants were all women and included Frances Micklethwait (see Chap. 3), who received an M.B.E. for her contributions to the war effort.17... 

Richard Taylor obtained BSc and PhD (Dr. D. Neville Jones) from the University of Sheffield. Postdoctoral periods with Dr. Ian Harrison (Syntex, California) and Prof. Franz Sondheimer (University College London) were followed by lectureships at the Open University and then UFA, Norwich. In 1993 he moved to a chair at the University of York. Taylor s research interests center on the synthesis of bioactive natural products and the development of new synthetic methodology. His awards include the Royal Society of Chemistry s Pedlar Lectureship (2007). Taylor is the immediate past-president of the RSC Organic Division and an editor of Tetrahedron.

Oppolzer, and at the University of Cambridge with Prof Sir Alan Bat-tersby, he moved to a lectureship at the University of Sheffield. In January 2003 he moved to Imperial College London as a reader. Research in his group is focused on the development of new catalysts for as5mi-metric acylation, new linkers for solid phase organic s5mthesis, chemical aspects of signal transduction, and total sjmthesis of bioactive natural products.
