Chemistry World January 25, 2013 Derek Lowe	Name reactions: how does the label stick? Some of these names go back to the 19th century, and many more of them come from the first decades of the 20th. Once in a while, I wonder if the tradition is dying out. Are we still naming chemical reactions after their discoverers?
