William H. Pirkle (1934-2018) was a prominent American chemist known for his work in organic and analytical chemistry, particularly in chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). He contributed significantly to the understanding of chiral molecule separation, which is crucial for pharmaceutical applications. Pirkle conducted his studies at the University of California and the University of Rochester, and he served as a professor at the University of Illinois. His pioneering research in chiral stationary phases (CSP) in HPLC led to commercial availability of Pirkle columns in 1981.
