Hearthstone

British organic chemist. Studied under WH Perkin, Jr. at the University of Manchester, and studied abroad at the University of Göttingen. In 1912 he became a lecturer at the University of St. Andrews, and in 1920 a professor at Durham University, before becoming a professor at the University of Birmingham (until 1948) in 1925. He initially studied terpenes, but in 1915 he moved on to carbohydrates after studying the structure of oligosaccharides by methylation, expanding on the work of EH Fischer and establishing the foundations of carbohydrate chemistry. His work includes formulating the ring structure of monosaccharides as pyran and furan derivatives (pyranose, furanose), researching the synthesis of various sugar derivatives, determining the structure of oligosaccharides, and researching the structure of polysaccharides as biopolymers. In 1932, he used the results of these efforts to successfully determine the structure and synthesize vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with P. Karrer in 1937.
