[edit] New contribution

It is interesting to follow the history of this name reaction. In 1985 Professor Agami and associates were the first to name the proline catalyzed Robinson annulation the Hajos-Parrish reaction (Agami, C.; Levisalles, J.; Puchot, C. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1985, 8, 441-442).

In 1986 Professor Henri B.Kagan and Professor Agami (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 2353-2357) still called it the Hajos-Parrish reaction in the Abstract of this paper.

In 2001 Professor Kagan published a paper entitled “Nonlinear Effects in Asymmetric Catalysis: A Personal Account” in Synlett 2001, No. SI, 888–899. In this paper he introduced the new title the Hajos-Parrish-Wiechert reaction.

In 2002 Professor Benjamin List added two more names and introduced the term Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction (B. List, Tetrahedron 58 (2002) 5573-5590).

The first announcement of the reaction appeared in 1971 in the patent literature as follows: Z. G. Hajos, D. R. Parrish, German Patent DE 2102623. (29 July 1971).In this Patent the isolation and characterization of the optically active intermediate alcohol 6 (bicyclic ketol) has been described.

Thank you for the addition, but I moved the addition here. The data is certainly of interest for this article, but could you rewrite it in such a way that it is not disrupting the page layout. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 09:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
