One scientist from this present-day country has an eponymous large ring synthesis in which a dicarboxylic acid is converted to a cyclic ketone, which is used to synthesize animal musk. That scientist shared the 1939 Nobel Prize with Adolf Butenandt for partially synthesizing (*) testosterone. Another scientist from this country was the first to separate the enantiomers of Troger's base, thus proving that nitrogen can be the chiral center of a molecule. That scientist is also the namesake of a priority rule along with Cahn and Ingold. In addition to Ruzicka and Prelog, another scientist from this country realized that seismic waves are refracted and thus must be passing through a boundary, while another scientist from this country worked for
