One of my favorite Chemistry blogs,
Chembark, has a great post on the
top-10 Organic Chemists of all time. Now, there is always going to be disagreement with lists like this, but I would have trouble saying any of the top ten shouldn't be on the list. There are other great organic chemists, but these are the best of the best.
Yep, I couldn't argue with any of his selections. Like you said, there's hundreds and thousands of chemists out there who have each given some pretty good additions to the art as a whole. These are simply the upper echelon of the cream of the crop.
