Saul Winstein (October 8 1912 – November 23 1969) was the American chemist who discovered the "Winstein reaction", in which he argued a non-classical cation was needed to explain the stability of the norbornyl cation. This fueled a debate with Herbert C. Brown over the existence of delocalized cations such as this.
