Mozingo?
« on: December 08, 2014, 02:40:36 PM »
Is the Mozingo reaction named after a chemist or not? If not, what does Mozingo mean?

I believe it is just a general exclamatory word people use, as in, "Mozingo! I've finally reduced that f*cking ketone!"

Google turns up a Ralph Mozingo from Merck doing Rosenmund reductions, but I don't think it's named after him.

I think it probably is actually: JACS 1943, 65, 1013 Link.
