Kenichi Fukui, Frontier Molecular Orbital Theory, and the Woodward‐Hoffmann Rules. Part III. Fukui's Science and Technology, 1918–1965†**

“…His first three publications were with the Austrian-born organic chemist Karl Lauer between 1936-1938. [114][115][116] Lauer had been hired by Professor Gen-itsu Kita to teach and conduct high quality organic chemical research at Kyoto Imperial University in the early 1930s. Lauer did some applied chemistry with polymers, fabrics, and apparently some studies related to the dyeing industry.…”

“…Now to Laurer's background. In the 1930s, Lauer published with at least nine chemists from Kyoto University including Shingu, the others being Toshisada Aoyama, [116] Keiichi Atarashi, [131] Yoshio Hirata, [132] Masao Horio, [133][134][135] Kiichi Irie, [136] Masao Miyawaki, [137] at least 15 papers with Ryohei Oda, [137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151] and Keiji Tamura. [151] Lauer also taught Junji Furukawa, a rubber chemist, though they apparently did not publish together.…”

“…Lauer ultimately returned to Europe where he taught in Prague and transferred to Heidelberg in ca. 1938 [116] . From 1940 to 1945, he was professor and director of the Institute of Fiber Technology in Breslau, Germany and director of the Institute of Applied Chemistry at the University of Alexandria, Egypt (1947‐1952).…”

“…As shown in Table 3, Shingu was a physical organic chemist interested in reactivity, reaction mechanisms, and in aromatic compounds. His first three publications were with the Austrian‐born organic chemist Karl Lauer between 1936–1938 [114–116] …”
