Department of Organic Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science, 560 012, Bangalore, Karnataka, India aut Life and chemical times of DKB [Elektronische Daten] [S. Balasubrahmanyam] This article presents a historical context of D K Banerjee's life and work on the occasion of his birth centenary and a general discussion on what Organic Chemistry is and the nature of steroids, which are widely occurring, versatile natural products that exhibit a great variety of biochemical activity. This is followed by an attempt to place Banerjee's opus, mainly in the synthesis of steroids, in the context of the then prevailing academic atmosphere and available infrastructure. The main aspects of his work are illustrated by means of reaction schemes.
