Allan, J.; Robinson, R. J. Chem. Soc. 1924, 125, 2192–2195. Robert Robinson (United Kingdom, 1886–1975) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1947 for his studies on alkaloids. However, Robinson himself considered his greatest contribution to science was that he founded the qualitative theory of electronic mechanisms in organic chemistry. Robinson, along with Lapworth (a friend) and Ingold (a rival), pioneered the arrow pushing approach to organic reaction mechanism. Robinson was also an accomplished pianist. James Allan, his student, also coauthored another important paper with Robinson on the relative directive powers of groups for aromatic substitution.
