A Jewish-German chemist called Leo Sternabch was working Roche in
American post-WWII to develop a dye but failed miserably. The story goes
that he was told to discontinue his research. In one last batch of
chemicals he found some crystals growing and sent them to be
tested...and they turned out to be great at calming down animals and so
the benzodiazepines were born.
