British organic chemist (1938–2020)
Stuart Warren (24 December 1938 – 22 March 2020)[ 1] organic chemist and author of chemistry textbooks aimed at university students.[ 2] [ 3]
Academic career
Warren was educated at Cheadle Hulme School near Manchester and read the Natural Sciences Tripos at Trinity College, Cambridge . He stayed at Cambridge to complete a PhD under Malcolm Clark, before moving to Harvard to carry out post-doctoral research with F. H. Westheimer . Dr. Warren returned to Trinity as a research fellow, and in 1971 took up a post as a teaching fellowship at Churchill College .[ 4] [ 5] Royal Society of Chemistry Bader Award in 2002.[ 6] RSC produced a themed collection of his work.[ 7]
The Warren group
Warren's research group is renowned for having produced some of the most successful organic chemistry academics in the UK, including:[ 1]
Textbook authorship
Warren is well known for his university-level textbooks Chemistry of the Carbonyl Group (1974),[ 8] Designing Organic Syntheses: The Synthon Approach (1978),[ 9] Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach (first edition 1982,[ 10] [ 11] Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control (2007).[ 12] undergraduate text Organic Chemistry (first edition 2000,[ 13] [ 14] Jonathan Clayden and Nick Greeves, and fellow Cambridge lecturer Peter Wothers .
