Environmental Fate. The environmental fate of diisopropyl methylphosphonate has been investigated in several studies (O Donovan and Woodward 1977a, 1977b Radziemski 1981 Robson 1977, 1981 Spanngord et al. 1979 Van Voris et al. 1987 Williams et al. 1989). This chemical is relatively unreactive and degrades slowly in environmental media. Diisopropyl methylphosphonate is a by-product of production at the RMA and is confined to the RMA and surrounding areas. Municipal water will be...

Looking at Schemes 4 and 5, it is obvious that Woodward-Doering s synthetic route suffered from the lack of stereocontrol, which led to the production of their precursors of homomeroquinene target compound as a mixture of stereoisomers. The fact that the yield of such a transformation was not clearly determined, in addition to the anticipated difficult separation of the four isomers obtained at the end of the reaction (cf. Rabe-Kindler reaction), rendered this reaction commercially unpractical. Moreover, it is well accepted that Woodward and Doering never physically produced any quinine in their lab, and the success of their method is based on the assumption that Rabe and Kindler partial synthesis was a fact. This would be the center of the controversy when Stork later characterized what he called the quasi-universal impression that Woodward and Doering achieved the total synthesis of quinine as a widely believed myth . The whole story is very juicy and interested readers should refer to the amazing review published in Angewandte Chemie by Seeman in 2007. Nevertheless, in 2008, Smith and Williams successfully revisited the Rabe-Kindler conversion... 

Sir William Ramsay believed that Rutherford may well be credited with the discovery of nitrogen" and that his thesis on mephitic air was an advance, though not a great one, in the development of the theory of the true nature of air (15). B. B. Woodward believed, however, that all the facts and views recorded by Rutherford are to be found in Priestley s memoir published in die Philosophical Transactions for 1772 (p. 230 et passim), and read six months before the publication of Rutherford s tract but Priestley s exposition is less methodical and precise (14). Both Rutherford and Priestley believed the new gas to be atmospheric air saturated with phlogiston, and neither of them regarded it as an element (14).

In all of the testimony, only one person raised any substantial objection to the Anslinger proposal. Dr. William Woodward, a legislative counsel for the American Medical Association, argued that Cannabis in medical preparations had not been abused and that the new provisions would cause hardship for doctors. He was quickly hooted down. House hearings concluded with no significant changes in the proposed bill, which then sailed through...
