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 passi

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 Westinghouse and is infamous for his "death ray". For 10 points, name this homeland of Mohorovicic and Nikola Tesla, a former Yugoslav Republic with capital at Zagreb.
