Franklin A. Davis

Franklin Arnold Davis (born April 1, 1939) is the Laura H. Carnell Professor of Chemistry at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] He is most notable for his development of sulfur-nitrogen reagents including N-sulfonyloxaziridine for oxidations and asymmetric hydroxylations[2][3] and N-sulfinyl imines for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amine derivatives.[2] The reagents are commonly called Davis oxaziridines and Davis sulfinamides, respectively.

Honors and awards include the American Chemical Society Cope Scholar Award (2006)[4] and the John Scott Medal (2006).[5]
