Pioneering Molecular Models for Cycloalkanes by Derx in Böeseken's Laboratory at Delft, A Century Ago (2021)

unapi

Spatial insight is essential in many fields of chemistry. Therefore, three-dimensional models are indispensable tools both in chemical education and research. Already in the early days of spatial thinking in organic chemistry, Henri Derx constructed such models, which were important in the pioneering research that was carried out on the conformational analysis of cyclic compounds in the group of Jacob Böeseken at Delft. In this paper, this work of Derx and his doctoral advisor Böeseken is put in a historical perspective. Furthermore, the careers of these two chemists is followed after their joint research on conformational analysis.
