...Barton's theories have enabled chemists to determine the structure of many complicated organic molecules and to produce such molecules artificially. His early research paved the way for the synthesis of the medicine cortisone...
While teaching a Harvard graduate course. Barton published two papers on the ring forms of various organic molecules. Chemists have since recognized Barton's theories as basic principles of stereochemistry- the three-dimensional arrangements of molecules...
...Barton first expressed his ideas at a Harvard research seminar in 1950. During a speech, Feiser asked his audience when chemists would be able to explain certain features of organic molecules. "At theend of the talk," Feiser said yesterday, "Barton got up and explained them...
...Barton's research involved the bonding of atoms in cyclohexane-molecules whose basis is a ring of six carbon atoms. Odd Hassel, the Norwegian chemist with whom Barton shares the Nobel Prize, discovered that the carbon rings formed two types of bonds. Barton explained the occurrence and behavior of both types...
