He was born in New York City on March 22, 1914, to immigrant parents, Frances (Newmark) and Samuel Kornblum.[2] His main research focus was electron transfer substitution reactions.[3] His most famous work was the discovery of the Kornblum oxidation and also the Kornblum substitution.[4] He was also known for Kornblum's rule in acid-base chemistry. He was the Plutonium chapter advisor for Iota Sigma Pi Honors Society for Women in Chemistry, which was established in February 1963.[5] In 1952, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship award. He authored a chapter in an Organic Reactions textbook which was published in 2011,[6] and wrote a review entitled "Synthetic Aspects of Electron-Transfer Chemistry" which was published in 1990 by Sigma-Aldrich.[7]
