Mangoni and Dovinola found applications for a reaction named for this man in steroid synthesis. He also discovered the benzoacetamide used for treating gout, along with a drug that blocks vesicular monoamine transports. The synthesis of those compounds, colchicine and reserpine, were part of this man's namesake "era" which saw him butt heads with Robert Robinson on the structure of penicillin. Along with Albert Eschenmoser, this man discovered the structure of vitamin B12, and died researching the synthesis of ethryomycin. One reaction named for this man involves an iodonium intermediate and proceeds through two SN2 mechanisms, known as his namesake cis-hydroxylation. A coformulator of a set of guidelines predicting the stereoselectivity of pericyclic reactions, for 10 points, identify this organic chemist at Harv
