He is widely recognized for his work in the development of the chemical synthesis of biologically important compounds and pharmaceuticals.
Henry Rapoport obtained a B.S. in chemistry in 1940, an M.S. in chemistry in 1941, and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1943, each from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He then worked at Heyden Chemical Corporation and the National Institutes of Health for several years.
In 1946, he became a professor at UC Berkeley where he remained for the rest of his career.
