黄维垣:卓越的有机氟化学家

Huang Weiyuan: An Outstanding Scientist of Organic Fluorine Chemistry

黄维垣是有机氟化学的开拓者,对国防、民用、基础氟化学贡献甚大。他早年研究葶苈、可的松、萆薢,证明金果榄碱就是巴马汀碱。发现连二亚硫酸钠是高效亚磺化试剂,用烯烃作为截捕剂证实自由基历程。创办《中国化学》、促成国际氟化学会议在上海召开,对化学国际化做了许多有益的工作。

Huang Weiyuan was the founder of organic fluorine chemistry,notable for his contributions in national defense,civil products and the basic theory.He studied tingli (Draba nemorosa L.),cortisone,dioscorea sativa,and found that calystigine was the same substance as palmatine.He used olefins as a trapping agent to study the research course,and found that sodium dithionite was a dehalo-sulfinating agent.He did a lot of work to promote the internationalization of chemistry,such as initiating the Chinese Journal of Chemistry and helping to organize International Conference on Fluorine Chemistry in Shanghai.
