When I was a child, Woodward once went to Uncle John's house with his father. John's son Mike whispered to Woodward, and then quietly dragged Woodward into the laboratory. It's great in the lab! At first glance, there are many things in it, which makes Woodward very excited. Mike was already there by this time. He was very experienced. Mike took out a glass bottle and put it on the table, then filled another beaker with water. Mike opened another bottle and said to Woodward, "Look, this bottle contains sulfuric acid, Woodward. As long as I pour sulfuric acid into clean water, the water will boil like boiling water at once. Do you believe it? " Woodward shook his head in disbelief, wondering what Mike was going to do. Then Mike poured this bottle of sulfuric acid into clear water. Who knows that Mike poured too much and too fast, which caused a splash. Some sulfuric acid spilled on Mike's hand. Faced with this unexpected situation, Mike panicked and grinned painfully, and he began to cry. Woodward had never seen anything like this and was at a loss. He quickly pressed Mike's hand into the bucket of clear water next to him. Mike recovered a little after a heart-wrenching pain.
Mike's screams made Mike's father realize that Mike must have had another accident, so he rushed into the laboratory at once. Being impatient, he knocked over another bottle of sulfuric acid, which spilled on the floor. A dazzling white smoke rushed up and a big black hole immediately appeared on the floor. Mike's father paid no attention to this and went straight to Mike. He was dumbfounded at once: a bottle of sulfuric acid was empty and the water in the beaker was still tumbling up and down. Mike's father slowly pulled out his burned hand from the clear water, leaving a black spot the size of a chopstick head on the back of his hand, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's too dangerous! Mike, you are really fooling around! " Woodward's father also rushed to the lab at this moment, pointing to Woodward and trying to teach him a lesson. Mike's father waved and said, "don't blame the children, old friend." You know, Woodward saved my son's hand. " Woodward and his son looked at Mike's father in confusion. It turned out that Woodward had just put Mike's hand in clean water, which helped him a lot. Otherwise, Mike's hand will burn a big hole.
This strange and amazing scene deeply attracted Woodward. Since then, Woodward's mind has always been inseparable from the shadows of those bottles and cans. Woodward made up his mind to be a chemist in the future, and from then on Woodward struggled for his ideal. Woodward's greatest contribution to organic chemistry is that he first proposed the sandwich structure of ferrocene in 1952. Results Woodward won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with 1965.
