Chakravarti and Robinson

摘要

I was interested to read in the August 2016 issue (p. 41) the article by Ian Rae on the Indian organic chemist Chakravarti and his collaboration with Sir Robert Robinson, having myself published an article on Robinson (October 2012, p. 40). In my article, I cited the biography of Robinson by T.I. Williams, and this contains further information on Chakravarti's involvement with the discovery of the structure of strychnine.
