Born 19 March 1883 in Chorley, Lancashire [Died] March 19, 1950, Birmingham British organic chemist. Received his doctorate from the University of Göttingen in 1910. Lecturer at the University of St. Andrews (1912), professor at Durham University (20), professor at the University of Birmingham (25), and vice-chancellor of both universities (47). Together with JC Irvine and T. Purdy, he studied carbohydrates such as sugar, starch, and cellulose, and discovered that the carbon atoms in sugar are arranged in a ring rather than a straight line. In 1943, together with E. L. Hurst, he determined the molecular structure of vitamin C and was the first to successfully synthesize it. This was an important achievement not only in organic chemistry, but also in medicine, as it made it possible to produce vitamin C cheaply. In 1937, he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with P. Culler, and was knighted in 1947. Howarth |
[生]1883.3.19. ランカシャー,チョーリー [没]1950.3.19. バーミンガム イギリスの有機化学者。 1910年ゲッティンゲン大学で学位取得。セントアンドルーズ大学講師 (1912) ,ダラム大学教授 (20) ,バーミンガム大学教授 (25) ,同大学副総長 (47) 。 J.C.アービン,T.パーディとともに糖,デンプン,セルロースなどの炭水化物について研究し,糖の炭素原子の配置が直線的ではなく環状配置であることを発見。 43年,E.L.ハーストとともにビタミンCの分子構造を決定し,合成に初めて成功した。これは有機化学だけでなく,ビタミンCが安価に製造できることになったことで医学的にも重要な業績であった。 37年に P.カラーとともにノーベル化学賞を受賞した。 47年ナイトの称号を贈られた。 ハワース
