George Hermann Büchi (August 1, 1921 – August 28, 1998) was organic chemist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Paternò's reaction", known since the early twentieth century,[1] was renamed to the "Paternò–Büchi reaction" based on enhancements made to it by Büchi's research group.[2]
