Barry M. Trost (born June 13, 1941 in Philadelphia) is an American chemist who is the Job and Gertrud Tamaki Professor Emeritus in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University.[1] The Tsuji-Trost reaction and the Trost ligand are named after him. He is prominent for advancing the concept of atom economy.[2][3]
Early life and education[]
Trost was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on June 13, 1941. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania and obtained his B.A. in 1962.[4] He then attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate school, where he worked with Prof. Herbert O. House enolate anions, the Mannich reaction, and the Robinson annulation.[5][6][7] Trost graduated with his Ph.D. in 1965.
Independent career[]
Trost moved to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to begin his independent career, and was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 1969, and the Vilas Research Professor in 1982.[4] In 1987, he moved to Stanford University as Professor of Chemistry, and was appointed the Job and Gertrud Tamaki Professor of Humanities and Sciences in 1990. He previously served as Chair of the Department of Chemistry.[4]
