Abstract

This article on Vladimir Prelog and his contribution to the development of organic chemistry in Croatia presents data on his scientific work done in the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Technical Faculty in Zagreb, as well as the scientific research work carried out in collaboration with the Science Laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory »Kaštel« in Zagreb. All the resulting papers were prepared by joint engagement of Professor Prelog's enthusiastic co-workers from the Faculty and »Kaštel«, thus establishing »Prelog's Zagreb School of Organic Chemistry«. It continued its activities even after Professor Prelog's departure for Zürich and had a vital influence on the further development of organic chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Zagreb, research institutions and scientific research laboratories of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Croatia.
