An Accidental Synthetic Chemist
Supported by: National Science Foundation

Dedicated to Professor Paul Knochel on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
Abstract
A journey is described that began as a genetics major, passed through a brief period as a formal synthetic organic chemist, and proceeded through a decades-long quest to be a physical organic–organometallic chemist. Although a preponderance of our program has emphasized elucidating fundamental principles of how aggregation and solvation influence reactivity, this review focuses on the results that have implications in organic synthesis.
