Abstract
This paper illustrates how R. B. Woodward introduces physical instruments to organic chemistry, and alteres the way of chemical thinking and organic synthesis. This paper proposes that Woodward changes chemistry from empirical research to rationally planned endeavor, in which chemists begin to investigate the chemical structures and reactivity of molecules with scientific instruments.
