B. A. Arbuzov was born October 22, 1903. He is the son and 

 pupil of A. E. Arbuzov (an outstanding organic chemist and 

 Academician). In 1926 he graduated from Kazan' Institute of 

 Agriculture and Forestry. He worked at the Kazan' Chemico- 

 Technological Institute from 1930 to 1938 and was made a pro- 

 fessor there in 1935. In 1938 he became a professor at the

 Prize in 1949, and in 1951, he won a Stalin Prize. 



Arbuzov' s research has been in the field of terpenes, diene 

 compounds and application of physical methods for the study of 

 the composition of organic compounds. Arbuzov discovered the 

 isomerization of a-pinene to allocymene and of a-oxypinene to 

 compholene aldehyde. By the method of diene synthesis he ob- 

 tained a number of diene products. 



As of 1961, B. A. Arbuzov was Director of the Institute of
