Interviews with Ernst Schaumann and Victor Snieckus

Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:00:00 +0100

Ernst Schaumann got involved with Houben-Weyl/SoS in the early 1970’s when he was at the University of Hamburg. He started writing a chapter on the transformations of alcohols. About ten years later he was asked to rewrite the chapter and add new material and did it with the motto: “You only fail if you don’t start”. Victor Snieckus started initially as SYNLETT editor for the Americas and as SYNFACTS editor for the field of heterocycles. Due to the successful cooperation with Thieme he later took over a Science of Synthesis project. Today he looks forward to more innovative projects. His current research interests are: "Tinkering and tankering with organic molecules to develop new useful synthetic methods for chemists".
The expert interviews were conducted by Robin Padilla. Read the whole interviews here.
