Professor Oyo Mitsunobu

The organic chemistry community recently lost one of the disciplines best-known figures. Professor Oyo Mitsunobu died on the 4th April 2003. Professor Mitsunobu (1934–2003) was one of Japans’ eminent scientists. Since the publication of his seminal paper on the use of diethyl diazodicarboxylate–triphenyl phosphine in 1967 for the nucleophilic displacement of a hydroxy group with virtually complete inversion of configuration, the Mitsunobu reaction has been an integral step in many natural product syntheses. As a tribute to Professor Mitsunobu his last published paper is available for free. In addition, you can also read the review he wrote, in 1981, on the uses of the reagent and its application in natural product synthesis.
