Leo Armand Paquette (born July 15, 1934) is an American organic chemist.
He was born on July 15, 1934 and he received his B.S. degree from Holy Cross College in 1956 and his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959. After serving as a Research Associate at the Upjohn Company from 1959 to 1963, he joined the faculty of The Ohio State University. He was promoted to full professor in 1969 and was named Distinguished University Professor in 1987. A member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1984, Dr. Paquette has served on advisory committees for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and has been a member of the editorial boards of publications such as the Journal of Organic Chemistry, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Organic Syntheses, Organic Reactions, and as the head editor of the Electronic Encyclopedia of Organic Reagents (eEros).
In 1993, an Ohio State University investigation found that Dr. Paquette had plagiarized sections from an unfunded NIH grant application, for which he was a reviewer, and included the text in his own NIH grant application. The Office of Research Integrity agreed with the University investigation and "required institutional certification of proper attribution in any future grant proposals" from Dr. Paquette and "prohibited him from serving on Public Health Service Advisory Committees, Boards, or review groups" for ten years.
