Talk:Hajos-Parrish reaction

Origin of the name of the reaction The name for this reaction took some time to develop. In 1985 Professor Agami and associates were the first to name the proline catalyzed Robinson annulation the Hajos-Parrish reaction [19]. In 1986 Professor Henri B.Kagan and Professor Agami [20] still called it the Hajos-Parrish reaction in the Abstract of this paper. In 2001 Professor Kagan published a paper entitled “Nonlinear Effects in Asymmetric Catalysis: A Personal Account” in Synlett [21]. In this paper he introduced the new title the Hajos-Parrish-Wiechert reaction. In 2002 Professor Benjamin List added two more names and introduced the term Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction [22].Scientific papers published as late as 2008 in the field of organo-catalysis use either the 1985, 2001 or 2002 names of the reaction.Zghajos (talk) 19:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
