Zusammenfassung:
This short historical account outlines how Helmut Schwarz and Manfred T. Reetz first met almost half a century ago and remained personal friends ever since. It began by collaborations on dyotropic rearrangements and other transformations in the gas phase. Although their chemical interests diverged considerably over decades, which are briefly mentioned in this account, both were always driven by curiosity. Another common feature was the fact that they both collaborated with Israeli chemists in various projects up to the present day. They also contributed to the celebration in 2015 commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relationship between Israel and Germany.
