Herman Pines

Herman Pines (January 17, 1902 – April 10, 1996) was a Russian Empire–born American chemist best known for his work with Vladimir Ipatieff on the catalytic conversion of high-octane aviation fuel (and innovation credited with helping the Royal Air Force win the Battle of Britain). Because of his scientific contributions, new processes were developed for the isomerization of paraffins, the alkylation of aromatic compounds, and base-catalyzed organic reactions.
