Robert Burns Woodward was an American organic chemist who lived from 1917 to 1979, considered by many to be the preeminent synthetic organic chemist of the twentieth century. He made many key contributions to organic chemistry, especially in the synthesis of complex natural products and the determination of their molecular structure, and worked closely with Roald Hoffmann on theoretical studies of chemical reactions and with Albert Eschenmoser. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1965 for his outstanding achievements in the art of organic synthesis.
