Nelson J. Leonard, one of

the most important chemists of the twentieth century, died today at his home in

Pasadena, California.  Leonard was not only a master in the application of

organic synthesis to the solution of important problems in chemistry,

biochemistry, and plant physiology, but very highly regarded as a professional

colleague. Leonard was born on September 1, 1916, grew up in Bronxville, New

York, and attended Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, before moving

to Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
