Jerome Berson is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physical organic chemist known for reactive intermediates and diradicals
Berson was an American physical organic chemist, a Sterling Professor at Yale, known for probing reaction mechanisms, sigmatropic rearrangements and orbital-symmetry control, and especially the behavior of short-lived diradical and non-Kekulé (multiradical) intermediates. His careful mechanistic work advanced the understanding of reactive intermediates. He is documented as being of Jewish heritage.
