Along with Eduardo Martinez, this man developed the first large-scale process to synthesize the anti-cancer drug Ecteinascidin. A lactone named for him is the precursor to several prostaglandins for which he developed total-synthetic routes. This man's namesake ylide is used in a reaction converting a carbonyl to an epoxide, which is co-named for this man and Michael Chaykovsky. A reaction in which terminal alkynes can be produced by the homologation of an aldehyde through a triphenylphosphine is co-named for this American chemist of Lebanese descent and Philip Fuchs. For 10 points, name this 1990 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, a professor at Harvard best known for his contributions to retrosynthetic analysis.
