One reaction named for this man permits an inversion of the normal reactivity of acyl carbon atoms, which combine only with nucleophiles, in a phenomenon known as umpolung.  He is the first namesake of another reaction in which an achiral ketone is enantioselectively reduced to produce the corresponding chiral, non-racemic alcohol. He controversially claimed that he inspired the development of the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, and he won a Nobel Prize for pioneering a method of transforming a molecule into simple precursor structures, retrograde analysis. The earlier mentioned reactions are co-named with Seebach and with Bakshi and Shibata. For te
