Stanley Jerome Cristol (June 14, 1916—January 23, 2008) was an American organic chemist.[2] A chemistry professor and long-time faculty member of the University of Colorado Boulder Chemistry and Biochemistry Department,[1] he was named Chair of the American Chemical Society Colorado Section in 1952,[3] was a two-time Guggenheim Fellowship awardee in 1955[4] and 1980,[5] and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1972.[2]
Education
editHe received a Bachelor of Science with highest distinction from Northwestern University in 1937[2] and received his Ph. D. degree in organic chemistry from University of California, Los Angeles[6] in 1943.[2]
Career
editIn 1950, he was involved in an incident in which the flow of a fume hood was accidentally reversed during an experiment, blowing phosgene gas into the room and hospitalizing four students.[7]
