That reaction is also named for Choung Un Kim.
A Wieland-Miescher ketone is the first step in a 14-step process formulated by this man including the Wittig Reaction and Michael Addition to create longifolene. This man's work on the symmetrization of reactivity was streamlined into the German word umpolung by Dieter Seebach. He is the first namesake of a reaction that reacts NCS with dimethyl sulfide to eventually produce aldehydes and ketones. That reaction is also named for Choung Un Kim. He names a reaction that combines a diol and thiophosgene to synthesize olefin with Roland Winter. This winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize in Chemistry developed the reagent PCC with Suggs. For 10 points, name this American chemist, the co-namesake a reaction that forms an alkyne from an aldehyde with Philip Fuchs.
