Person
Mark M. Green received his doctoral degree from Princeton University in 1966. In 1980 Professor Green began investigations of the cooperative properties of polymers in the Herman Mark Polymer Research Institute of Brooklyn Poly, now the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. He served for three years on the editorial board of the American Chemical Society journal, Macromolecules and he serves on the editorial board of Topics in Stereochemistry. He was awarded a Jacobs "Excellence in Teaching Award" by the Polytechnic University in 2006 for his backwards approach to learning organic chemistry and his textbook with Harold Wittcoff entitled, "Organic Chemistry Principles and Industrial Practice".
In recent years he has added to his academic efforts attention to science journalism in writing a monthly column, "Science from Away" for a Cape Breton, Nova Scotia newspaper, the Inverness Oran, and a Greenwich Village New York, newspaper, the West View.

Content
From Cellulose and Starch to the Principles of Structure and Stereochemistry
A survey of the experiments usually performed by chemists to understand the structures of organic molecules: mass spectrometers, infra-red spectrometers and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers
From Galactosemia to the Properties of Six-membered Rings: An Introduction to the Mechanisms of Chemical Reactions
Understanding carbocations: from the production of high octane gasoline to the nature of acids and bases
Carbocations in living processes
Aromatic ? A word that came to mean something other than odor in the chemical sciences
Fatty acid catabolism and the chemistry of the carbonyl group
Carbanions and carbonyl chemistry: sugar catabolism, isopentenyl diphosphate synthesis and the citric acid cycle
Investigating the properties of addition and condensation polymers leads to understanding more about free radicals, esters and
amides
The industrial road toward increasing efficiency in the synthesis of hexamethylene diamine leads to stopovers at kinetic versus thermodynamic control, and nucleophilic substitution, with a side trip to laboratory reducing agents
Much can be learned about organic chemistry from the study of natural rubber and other elastomers
Synthesis Part I
Synthesis Part II
