With Wipke, this man created the first organic synthesis planning program; he himself later created the LHASA synthesis program.

With Seebach, he names a reaction where the reactivity of acyl carbon atoms, which normally only combine with nucleophiles, can be reversed in a process known as (*) umpolung. He developed a method of organic synthesis where one logically deconstructs a target molecule until a commercially available or simple molecule is achieved. This man known for retrosynthetic analysis also co-names a reaction whose first step is similar to the Wittig reaction and whose intermediates include a ylide. For 10 points, name this man who names a reaction that changes an aldehyde into an alkyne with Fuchs
