Early life and education


Stevens was born in Edwardsville, Illinois to Arthur Allen Stevens and Irma E. Ambuehl.[2] He earned a Bachelor of Science at the University of Illinois, and in 1947 a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin in the field of substituted ketene acetals and related orthoesters.[3]



Career


Stevens received Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined the staff of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan in 1948 and became a full professor of Chemistry there in 1954.[4] He subsequently served as Chairman of the Chemistry Department,[5][6] Vice President for Research, and Interim Provost to the University.


In 1958 he was a member of the Cancer Chemotherapy National Service organization.[7]


Stevens received a Guggenheim Fellowship at the Sorbonne in 1955. He served as a Scientific Officer for the U.S. Embassy in London in 1959.


In 1962, while a consultant at the Parke-Davis Laboratories, he synthesized the drug ketamine,[8][9] which is commonly used as a general anesthetic.


Stevens received two Fulbright Fellowships in 1964 and 1971. He was a tenured Professor Associe at the University of Paris VI. In 1982 he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Nancy.[citation needed]


Stevens died in November 26, 2014, at the age of 91.
