Abstract
Alexei Vsevolodovich Bogatsky–Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR–was a prominent scientist and organizer of investigations in the branches of fine organic synthesis, structure and stereochemistry of organic compounds and chemistry of physiologically active compounds. His scientific activities cover a wide domain of the synthesis of organic compounds of the aliphatic and heterocyclic series, study of their structure, stereochemistry and mesogeneity, as well as questions of physiologic activity. He was concerned also with the establishment of the connection between the structure and the properties of these compounds. In his scientific and organizing activities A. V. Bogatsky succeeded in combining fundamental investigations and the application of their results in different fields of the national economy.
