Stuart Warren is a British organic chemist and author of chemistry textbooks aimed at university students.[1]

Academic career

Warren was educated at Cheadle Hulme School near Manchester and read the Natural Sciences Tripos at Trinity College, Cambridge. He stayed at Cambridge to complete a PhD with Malcolm Clark, before moving to Harvard to do post-doctoral research with F. H. Westheimer. Dr Warren returned to Trinity as a research fellow and subsequently took up a post as a teaching fellow at Churchill College in 1971.[2] He remained a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Cambridge until his retirement in 2006.[3]

The Warren group

Warren's research group is renowned for having produced some of the most successful organic chemistry academics in the UK, including:

Textbook authorship

Warren is well known for his university-level textbooks Chemistry of the Carbonyl Group (1974),[4] Designing Organic Syntheses: The Synthon Approach (1978),[5] Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach (first edition 1982,[6] second edition 2008[7]), and its graduate-level sequel, Organic Synthesis: Strategy and Control (2007).[8] He is perhaps best known as one of the authors of the best-selling undergraduate text Organic Chemistry (first edition 2000,[9] second edition 2012[10]), which he wrote with his former students Jonathan Clayden and Nick Greeves, and fellow Cambridge lecturer Peter Wothers.
