dc.description.abstractThe historical genesis of the curved arrow in organic chemistry is described during the debate in the pages of Chemistry and Industry (Review Section) from 1923 to 1926 between Robert Robinson, Christopher Ingold and others. Following Ingold 's article in Chemical Reviews in 1934, the gradually increasing use of the curved arrow, first in advanced research level books on physical organic chemistry and then in entry level organic chemistry textbooks, is discussed.en_US
dc.description.abstractLa genèse historique de la flèche courbée en chimie organique est le sujet de débat sur les pages de Chemistry and Industry (Review Section) depuis 1923 jusqu'à1926 entre Robert Robinson, Christopher Ingold et d'autres. On discute de l'usage progressivement accroissante de la flèche courbee d'abord dans les livres au niveau de recharche en chimie physico-organique et ensuite dans les manuels de chimie organique de première année d'etudes universitaires.
