TY - JOUR AB - Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 46, No. 7, 2010 LEONID BORISOVICH VOLODARSKII (18.07.1931-25.03.2010) With the passing of Professor Leonid Borisovich Volodarskii, the world community of chemists has suffered a heavy blow and has lost a talented organic chemist, an outstanding specialist in the chemistry of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds and stable nitroxyl radicals, purposeful and efficient person, erudite in many fields, with talent for organization. Professor Volodarskii was born on July 18, 1931 in Moscow. He entered the D. I. Mendeleev Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology in 1949 and, in 1952, transferred to the Lensovet Leningrad Technological Institute, from which he graduated with honors in 1954. In 1959, at the invitation of Prof. N. N. Vorozhtsov, Jr., he began graduate studies at the Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry. After successful completion of his studies, Prof. Volodarskii was appointed a junior research worker at this institute. In 1963, he defended his Candidate's dissertation Transformations of N-(1-oxyimino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl-2)hydroxylamine, which he completed under the direction of Prof. V. A. Koptyug, and, in 1972, he completed his doctoral dissertation Investigation of the Chemistry of -Hydroxylaminooximes. Already at the beginning of his scientific career, Professor Volodarskii laid the foundation of his work in heterocyclic chemistry by TI - IN MEMORIAM JF - Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds DO - 10.1007/s10593-010-0587-x DA - 2010-10-22 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/in-memoriam-WGAZnS5Tn7 SP - 899 EP - 901 VL - 46 IS - 7 DP - DeepDyve ER -
