Abstract
After completing my work for a Ph. D. degree at the University of Liverpool in 1948, I wanted very much to spend a period of time in a laboratory in a German-speaking region of Europe. I thought of going to Zürich at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule known for its great tradition of excellence in organic chemistry. Professor Leopold Ružička was the Director at that time, but I wanted to work, in particular, with Professor Vladimir Prelog, who had joined the ETH from Zagreb some years earlier and whose work I had admired.
